a)
To explain: The concept of pollen grain.
Introduction: Pollen grains are the tiny bodies in a seed plant that appears usually as a fine dust. Each pollen grain has a very minute body that varies in shape and structure and is formed in the anther (male apparatus) of seed-bearing plants. Pollens are transported by various means such as wind, insects, water,and so forth to the pistil (female structure) of the flower, wherefertilization takes place.
b)
To explain: The development of pollen grain.
Introduction: Pollen grains are the tiny bodies in a seed plant that appears usually as a fine dust.

Pollens are transported by various means such as wind, insects, water,and so forth to the pistil (female structure) of the flower, wherefertilization takes place.
c)
To explain: The function of pollen grain.

Pollens are transported by various means such as wind, insects, water,and so forth to the pistil (female structure) of the flower, wherefertilization takes place.
d)
To explain: How pollen was an important step toward seed plant to become dominant plants.
