Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) involve meiosis

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(a) : In angiosperms, microsporogenesis i.e., formation of microspores (or pollen grains) occurs by the meiotic divisions of diploid microspore mother cells (or pollen mother cells). Microsporogenesis takes place in the anther. Megasporogenesis \(i.e.\) formation of megaspores occurs by the meiotic divisions of diploid megaspore mother cells. Megasporogenesis takes place in the ovule.
