Question
How many of the daughter cells obtained from a megaspore mother cell develops into a female gametophyte?
Answer: Option D
:
D
The megaspore mother cell (2n) undergoes reduction division (meiosis) to form linear tetrad of four haploid megaspores by megasporogenesis. Generally, 3 megaspores towards micropylar end degenerate and 4th towards chalazal end remains is the functional megaspore which develops into a female gametophyte or embryo sac.
