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

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Formation of Megaspores**: In angiospermic plants, the process begins with the differentiation of a cell in the nucellus into a megaspore mother cell (also known as the megasporangium). 2. **Megasporogenesis**: The megaspore mother cell undergoes megasporogenesis, which involves meiosis. This process results in the formation of four haploid megaspores. 3. **Arrangement of Megaspores**: The four megaspores are arranged linearly. ...
