A Flowering Plant with a Deleterious Mutation in Microsporogenesis Would

Question

A flowering plant with a deleterious mutation in microsporogenesis would most likely
A) fail to produce sepals.
B) fail to produce petals.
C) fail to produce anthers.
D) fail to produce pollen.
E) fail to produce ovules.

Accepted Answer

Microsporogenesis is the process of making pollen in plants. If there is a deleterious mutation in microsporogenesis, the plant would most likely fail to produce pollen, leading to infertility or reduced fertility. The other options are not directly related to microsporogenesis.
