True or False:Microsporangium produce microsporocytes
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Microsporangia (male sporangia) produce microsporocytes (micromeiocytes) that yield microspores. Megasporangia (female sporangia) produce megasporocytes (megameiocytes) that yield megaspores.

Detailed explanation-2: -In gymnosperms and angiosperm anthers, the microsporangia produce microsporocytes, the microspore mother cells, which then produce four microspores through the process of meiosis. Microsporocytes are produced in the microsporangia of gymnosperm cones and the anthers of angiosperms.
