Read the following statements and find out the incorrect statements. a. Ovules generally differentiate a single megaspore mother cell (MMC) in the chalazal region of the nucellus. b. The MMC undergoes reduction division and produces four megaspores. c. In a majority of angiosperms, one of the megaspore is degenerated while the other three remains functional. d. The nucleus of the functional megaspore divides mitotically three times and form 2-nucleate, 4-nucleate and later 8-nucleate stages of the embryo sac. e.
