Question

How many microsporangia are located at the corners of a typical bilobed anther of angiosperm ?

• A. 2
• B. 4
• C. 8
• D. 1

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

In a typical angiosperm, the anther is bilobed, meaning it has two lobes. Each lobe contains two microsporangia, located at its corners. \[ \text{Number of lobes} = 2, \quad \text{Microsporangia per lobe} = 2 \] \[ \text{Total microsporangia} = 2 \times 2 = 4 \] Thus, the anther has 4 microsporangia.
