Read the passage and answer the following questions:
A typical microsporangium, when observed in a transverse section, has a nearly circular shape. It is typically surrounded by four layers of walls: the epidermis, endothecium, middle layers, and the tapetum. The outer three wall layers serve to protect the microsporangium and aid in the anther's opening to release the pollen. The innermost wall layer, known as the tapetum, provides nourishment to the developing pollen grains. Tapetum cells are characterized by their dense cytoplasm and often contain multiple nuclei. In angiosperms, an anther usually consists of two lobes, each with two theca, making it dithecous. The theca are often separated by a longitudinal groove. The anther itself has a tetragonal shape with four microsporangia situated at its corners, two in each lobe. These microsporangia undergo further development and transform into pollen sacs.

What are sporogenous tissue?

Compactly arranged diploid homogenous cells.

The correct answer is Option (4) -Compactly arranged diploid homogenous cells.

When the anther is young, a group of compactly arranged homogenous cells called the sporogenous tissue occupies the centre of each microsporangium. Sporogenous tissue refers to a specific type of tissue found in plants, particularly in the anther of the flower. It consists of compactly arranged diploid cells that have the potential to undergo meiosis and give rise to haploid spores. As the anther develops, the cells of the sporogenous tissue undergo meiotic divisions to form microspore tetrads.As each cell of the sporogenous tissue is capable of giving rise to a microspore tetrad. Each one is a potential pollen or microspore mother cell. The process of formation of microspores from a pollen mother cell (PMC) through meiosis is called microsporogenesis. The microspores, as they are formed, are arranged in a cluster of four cells–the microspore tetrad. As the anthers mature and dehydrate, the microspores dissociate from each other and develop into pollen grains. Inside each microsporangium several thousands of microspores or pollen grains are formed that are released with the dehiscence of anther.

The options "Loosely arranged haploid homogenous cells," "Compactly arranged haploid homogenous cells," and "Compactly arranged diploid heterogenous cells" do not accurately describe sporogenous tissue.
