Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In flowering plants, how many pollen grains are typically produced by one anther?
Correct Answer: 8
  • Step 1: Understand that an anther is a part of a flower that produces pollen.
  • Step 2: Know that pollen grains are produced from microspore mother cells.
  • Step 3: Each microspore mother cell produces 4 pollen grains.
  • Step 4: Typically, there are 2 microspore mother cells in one anther.
  • Step 5: Multiply the 4 pollen grains from one microspore mother cell by 2 (the number of cells).
  • Step 6: This gives you a total of 8 pollen grains produced by one anther.
