Meiosis is best observed in dividing

1. cells of apical meristem
2. cells of lateral meristem
3. microspores and anther wall
4. microsporocytes

Correct answer: microsporocytes

Solution

Microsporocytes are pollen mother cells, and they undergo meiosis to produce haploid microspores. Meristematic cells mainly divide by mitosis, while the anther wall is supportive tissue rather than the meiotic site.
