Detailed explanation-1: -In angiosperms, pollen is produced by the anthers of the stamens in flowers. In gymnosperms, it is formed in the microsporophylls of the microstrobili (male pollen cones). Pollen consists of one or more vegetative cells and a reproductive cell. A pollen grain itself is not the male gamete.
Detailed explanation-2: -Through the process of meiosis, pollen is formed in the pollen sacs (microsporangia) inside the anthers of a flower. The anther, while it is developing from anther primordium (undifferentiated cells), forms two clusters of cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: Pollen grains are produced in anther.
Detailed explanation-4: -Anther: The part of the stamen where pollen is produced.
Detailed explanation-5: -Pollen grains develop from sporogenous tissue in angiosperms.
