Question

in angiosperm how many megaspore mother cells are required to produce 600 functional megaspores

Answer 1

Heya !!!

Here's the answer !!!

The Question is to find the number the of megaspore mother cells to produce 600 functional megaspores.

Solution :

A megaspore mother cell undergoes Meiosis to form a megaspore tetrad in which each cell is a megaspore.But of that only one is functional and the remaining 3 cells degenerate.

Hence , one megaspore mother cell gives one functional megaspore.

1 megaspore mother cell = 1 functional megaspore

600 megaspore mother cells = 600 functional megaspores.


Therefore , In an angiosperm , 600 megaspore mother cells are required to produce 600 functional megaspores.


Hope this helps you :)

Answer 2

They form inside ovules and stayed attached to a parent plant, inside the mass they give rise to a female gametophyte.
