| 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. |
| (iii) Megasporogenesis is the |
A) formation of fruits
B) formation of seeds
C) formation of megaspores
D) Both [b] and [c]
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
[c] Megasporogenesis, i.e. formation of megaspores occurs by the meiotic divisions of diploid megaspore mother cells. Megasporogenesis takes place in the ovule.
