Question

Why each cell of sporogenous tissue called "potential pollen".

Answer 1

Answer:Each cell of sporogenous tissue is potential pollen or microspore mother cell

Explanation:

Each cell of the sporogenous tissue is capable of giving rise to a microspore tetrad and hence each such cell is a potential pollen mother cell (PMC) or microspore mother cell. The process of formation of microspores from a pollen mother cell through meiosis is called micrsporogensis.

Answer 2

Each and every cell of the sporogenous tissue is called considered to be a potential pollen because each and every cell of sporogenous tissue has the capability to develop and form a microspore tetrad.

Extra Information :-

• A microspore tetrad refers to a group of four microspores that are formed from the pollen mother cell due to microsporogenesis.

• When the anther gains maturity and gets dehydrated, the megaspore tetrad breaks and pollen grains are formed.
