pls explain the following terms wrt to the arrangement of microspores :
linear
tetrahedral
isobilateral
decussate

with picture thank you
 

Dear student.

The tetrads are divided on the basis of arrangement of pollen grains in tetrad.

Tetrahydral tetrads: In this type, the four pollen grains form the points of tetrahedron i.e they are arranged in tetrahedron form. 
Isobilateral  tetrads: Also called tetragonal tetrad. Here four pollen grains are in one plane and are equally spaced apart.
Linear  tetrads : Here four pollen grains are arranged in straight line. 
T-Shaped  tetrads: Here pollen grains are in two pairs and arranged in T shaped structure.
Decussate   tetrads: Here pollen grains are in two pairs and arranged at right angles to one another.  

Regards.
