Please answer correctly and don't randomly guess

In angiosperms, the nucleus of each pollen grain undergoes?
In angiosperms, the sporophyte (2n) stage predominates and includes the

vegetative parts of the plant and even the various parts of the flower. The process involving meiosis, which converts

diploid sporocytes (or spore mother cells) into haploid (n) spores, is termed sporogenesis. Sporogenesis occurs in the

anthers of stamens and the ovules of pistils. Angiosperms, and seed plants in general, are heterosporous. This means

that two different kinds of spores, microspore and megaspore, are produced by the sporophyte. Consequently,

heterosporous organisms exhibit separate male and female gametophytes. The microspore gives rise to the

microgametophyte (or male gametophyte), and the megaspore gives rise to the megagametophyte (or female

gametophyte).
