Direction Read the following and answer the questions from given below |
The ovule or the megasporangium develops as a small protuberance of the placental tissue. In the very young ovule, a single hypodermal cell is differentiated as the archesporium. This archesporium cell may or may not cut off some parietal cells and then becomes the Megaspore Mother Cell (MMC). The MMC undergoes division to form megaspore cells. Meanwhile two integuments develop from the base of the ovule. |
(ii) In angiosperms, microsporogenesis |
A) involve meiosis
B) occur in ovule
C) occur in anther
D) form gametes without further divisions
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
[c] In angiosperms/microsporogenesis, i.e. formation of microspores (or pollen grains) occurs by the meiotic divisions of diploid microspore mother cell (or pollen mother cells). Microsporogenesis takes place in the anther.You need to login to perform this action.
