What is the male sex cell of a plant?
A
Pollen
B
Ovule
C
Spore
D
Anther
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pollen grains are the male sex cell of a plant. They are present in the anther of a flower.

Detailed explanation-2: -The male parts are called stamens and usually surround the pistil. The stamen is made up of two parts: the anther and filament. The anther produces pollen (male reproductive cells).

Detailed explanation-3: -stamen, the male reproductive part of a flower. In all but a few extant angiosperms, the stamen consists of a long slender stalk, the filament, with a two-lobed anther at the tip. The anther consists of four saclike structures (microsporangia) that produce pollen for pollination.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each pollen grain is a single cell containing two male gametes. Once mature, the anther splits open and pollen is released. Both male gametes are involved in fertilisation, resulting in formation of a zygote and an endosperm. This process of double fertilisation is unique to flowering plants.

Detailed explanation-5: -Male gametes are found inside tiny pollen grains on the anthers of flowers. Female gametes are found in the ovules of a flower. Pollination is the process that brings these male and female gametes together.
