Question

In a flowering plant, a microspore mother cell produce four male
gametophytes while a megaspore mother cell form only one female
gametophyte. Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

After attaining maturity, these microspores separate from each other and each microspore develops into a male gametophyte or pollen grain containing either two cells or three cells. On the other hand, megaspore mother cell develops in the ovary of a flower and divides by meiotic division to produce four megaspores.
