What is the fate of haplooid megaspores formed by megaspore mother cell in an angiospermic plant ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Megasporogenesis**: The process of megasporogenesis refers to the formation of megaspores from the megaspore mother cell in angiospermic plants (flowering plants). 2. **Formation of Megaspores**: During megasporogenesis, the megaspore mother cell undergoes meiosis, resulting in the production of four haploid megaspores. 3. **Degeneration of Megaspores**: Out of the four megaspores produced, three typically degenerate. This means that only one of the four megaspores remains functional. ...
