Q. Megaspores are produced from the megaspore mother cells after

NEETNEET 2013Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants

Solution:

One hypodermal nucellar cell of the micropylar region of ovule differentiates as the sporogenous cell. It forms a diploid megaspore mother cell or megasporocyte. The megaspore mother cell undergoes meiosis and forms a row of four haploid megaspores. Only the chalazal megaspore remains functional while the other three degenerate.
