(A) : Ovule is an integumented megasporangium .
(R) It does not dehisce at maturity and retains megaspore permanently inside.

(i) An ovule is a differentiated megasporangium. (ii) Megaspore mother cell is found near the region of nucellus.

Name the integumented megasporangium found in Gymnosperms. How many females gametophytes are generally formed inside the megasporangium ?

Trace the development of a mature ovule from a megaspore mother cell.

Ovule is technically equivalent to 1. megasporangium with one megaspore 2. integumented indehiscent megasporangium 3. megagametangium 4. integumented female gametophyte

(i) Ovule is also called microsporangium (ii) Stalk of mature ovule is called integument (iii) Body of an ovule is made of nucellus (iv) Nucellus is enveloped by one or two coverings called integuments

From the statement given below choose the option tht are true for a typical female gametophyte of a flowering plant : (i) It is 8- nucleate and 7-celled at maturity (ii) It is free nuclear during development (iii) It is situated inside the integument but outside the nucellus (iv) It has an egg apparatus situated at the chalazal end.
