Microspore mother cell or pollen mother cell is a sporogenous cell that divides by meiosis and produces microspore tetrad. These four microspore cells then dehydrate and dissociate at maturity to form four pollen grains.
Total number of microspores: 1280.
Therefore, microspore mother cells will be 1280/4 = 320.
As it is tetralocular, therefore there will be 4 chambers of the tetrad.
Thus, the number of MMC in each chamber : 320/4 = 80.
