pollen-the fine spores that contain male gametes and that are borne by an anther in a flowering plant. microspore-smaller of the two types of spore produced in heterosporous plants; develops in the pollen sac into a male gametophyte.
The stamen of a flowering plant is the part of the plant that contains a slim filament that supports the anther. The anther is an oval-shaped structure that a flowering plant must have to reproduce. When the anther has produced enough pollen, the pollen moves into small sacs that pop open to spread the pollen around, making it able to create new plants. The flower produces pollen in a process known as meiosis. Meiosis results in the production of four daughter cells in two cell divisions.
