Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The flower contains specialized structures, the anthers and the pistil or gynoecium, in which the male and female gametophytes, respectively, are formed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Development of pollen grains (male gametophytes) takes place in the anther. Pollen development begins when specialized cells (microsporocytes) differentiate in young anthers. There are generally hundreds or thousands of microsporocytes per anther and each passes through meiosis to produce four haploid microspores.
