What happens to the microspores as the anthers mature and dehydrate?

Step-by-step solution

As each cell of the sporogenous tissue is capable of giving rise to a microspore tetrad. Each one is a potential pollen or microspore mother cell . The process of formation of microspores from a pollen mother cell (PMC) through meiosis is called microsporogenesis. The microspores, as they are formed, are arranged in a cluster of four cells–the microspore tetrad As the anthers mature and dehydrate, the microspores dissociate from each other and develop into pollen grains Inside each microsporangium several thousands
