The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "Megaspore develops into multicellular structure called -", we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Megaspores**: - Megaspores are produced in heterosporous plants, which include gymnosperms and angiosperms. 2. **Formation of Megaspores**: - The process begins with the megaspore mother cell, which undergoes meiosis to produce megaspores. 3. **Development of Megaspores**: - Out of the megaspores produced, typically one megaspore survives and develops further. 4. **Multicellular Structure**: - The surviving megaspore develops into a multicellular structure known as the female gametophyte. 5. **Function of Female Gametophyte**: - The female gametophyte contains archegonia, which are the female reproductive organs. In angiosperms, this structure is specifically referred to as the embryo sac. 6. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that the megaspore develops into a multicellular structure called the female gametophyte. ### Final Answer: Megaspore develops into multicellular structure called **female gametophyte**. ---
