\nDefinition: The process of formation of megaspores from megaspore mother cell (MMC) is called megasporogenesis. \ni) Embryosac generally develop from a single megaspore that differentiate from a single megaspore mother cell (MMC) in the micropylar region of the nucellus. \nii) MMC is a large cell containing dense cytoplasm and a prominent nucleus. \niii) The MMC undergoes meiosis and forms a linear tetrad of four haploid megaspores. Out of which one remains functional (chalazal end) and three degenerate (micropylar end)."},"encodingFormat":"text/html","position":2,"text":"Reduction division occurs in the megaspore"},"comment":{"@type":"Comment","text":"The megasporogenesis occurs within the ovule."},"eduQuestionType":"Multiple choice","encodingFormat":"text/markdown","learningResourceType":"Practice problem","suggestedAnswer":[{"@type":"Answer","comment":{"@type":"Comment","text":"It is a wrong option."},"encodingFormat":"text/html","position":0,"text":"Egg has a filiform apparatus"},{"@type":"Answer","comment":{"@type":"Comment","text":"It is a wrong option."},"encodingFormat":"text/html","position":1,"text":"There are numerous antipodal cells"},{"@type":"Answer","comment":{"@type":"Comment","text":"It is a wrong option."},"encodingFormat":"text/html","position":3,"text":"A small central cell is present in the embryo sac"}],"text":"In the majority of angiosperms:"},"name":"Quiz on Modes of Reproduction","typicalAgeRange":"10-17","url":"https://www.embibe.com/questions/In-the-majority-of-angiosperms%3A/EM0149968"}
