Pollen Grain Development Formation of the Male Gamete
The Stamen is Diploid • Microspore Mother Cells are found in the Anther
Meiosis • 4 Haploid Cells /A Tetrad is formed • Pollen Grains
Mitosis • Each Pollen Grain now has two haploid nuclei • (a) A Tube Nucleus • (b) A Generative Nucleus
Each Species of Pollen is unique • Exine = Outer Protective Layer • Intine = Inner Protective Layer
Mitosis • After Pollination the generative nucleus divides again • The Tube nucleus forms the pollen tube • The Generative Nucleus forms the 2 male Gametes
