The correct sequence of layers in the wall of an anther from outside to inside is:
| 1. | Tapetum – Middle Layers – Endothecium – Epidermis |
| 2. | Epidermis – Endothecium – Tapetum – Middle layers |
| 3. | Epidermis – Endothecium – Middle layers – Tapetum |
| 4. | Tapetum – Endothecium – Middle layers – Epidermis |

Hints
Tapetum:
| 1. | is the outermost layer in the wall of microsporangium |
| 2. | helps in the protection of the pollen grains |
| 3. | helps in dehiscence of anther |
| 4. | has cells that generally have more than one nucleus |
