RE-NEET 2026 Botany Anther Structure MCQ Question

In a typical bilobed angiosperm anther, each lobe contains two thecae. The principle here is that the anther is divided into two lobes, and each lobe is further divided into two thecae, which are the pollen sacs. Therefore, for each lobe, the number of thecae is 2.

Thus, the total number of thecae in each lobe is:

$\text{Thecae per lobe} = 2$

Options like 6, 8, and 12 misinterpret the structure of the anther, as they suggest a higher number of thecae than is typical for bilobed anthers.
