Match List I with List II regarding the structures involved in microsporogenesis. List I List II A. Sporogenous tissue I. Represents the male gametophyte B. Pollen mother cell II. Undergoes meiosis C. Microspore tetrad III. Occupies the centre of microsporangium in young anther D. Pollen grain IV. Cluster of four haploid cells Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Step-by-step solution

Sporogenous tissue occupies the centre of each microsporangium in a young anther (A-III). Each cell of the sporogenous tissue acts as a Pollen mother cell (PMC) which undergoes meiosis (B-II). The result of this meiosis is a Microspore tetrad, which is a cluster of four haploid cells (C-IV). As the anther matures and dehydrates, the microspores dissociate and develop into Pollen grains, which represent the male gametophyte (D-I). Therefore, the correct matching is A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I. Answer: A-III, B-II, C-IV,
