discuss about the development of female spore in flowering plant
Answers
this is ur answer:
Plants undergo two phases of reproduction in their life cycle gametophyte and sporophyte. Gametophyte (production of haploid gametes) is the dominant occurrence among angiosperms (flowering plants).
Among angiosperms gametophyte is the dominant phase of reproduction. Gametophyte is the mode through which the plant produces haploid male and female gametes which form a diploid zygote by fertilization.
The female gametophyte is developed in the ovary of the plant which is present in the carpel of the flower. It happens in two phases Megasporogenesis and Megagametogenesis.
Megasporogenesis
A diploid megaspore mother cell, present in the ovule undergoes meiosis and 4 haploid megaspores are formed. Only one out of four survives.
Megagametogenesis
The Megaspore produced undergoes mitosis to produce 8 nuclei. 2 polar nuclei fuse in the center forming a secondary nuclei, out of the remaining 6 nuclei 3 each move towards the opposite poles. The megaspore matures to form the embryo sac.
After pollination, fertilization takes place in the embryo sac, within the ovary of the plant. When provided with suitable conditions it forms a seed.
