In most flowering plants, a single megaspore mother cell present at the micropylar pole of the nucellus region of the ovule undergoes meiosis to produce four haploid megaspores. Later, out of these four megaspores, only one functional megaspore develops into the female gametophyte, while the remaining three degenerate.

The development of the female gametophyte is considered monosporic growth from a single functional megaspore. The functional megaspore nucleus breaks mitotically to form two nuclei that shift to opposite poles. A two-nucleate embryo sac forms this.
