Please answer.....

Answer 1

Answer:

The integumented indehiscent megasporangium is also called the ovule.

The correct answer is option C. Ovule.                                    

Explanation:

• Since megasporangium is the structure that carries the megaspore mother cells(MMCs) it gives rise to the megaspores.

• And these megaspores are present in the ovule.
• Hence megasporangium is the structure equivalent to the ovule.

• The ovule is also called the integumented megasporangium as it is surrounded by the protective covering called integuments.

• It is present inside the ovary that is attached to the ovary wall called the placenta. Since the ovary carries the ovule, option A. is incorrect.

• It carries a single embryo sac that is formed from a megaspore through reductional or meiotic division.
• After fertilization, this ovule produces the seed.
• Carpel is the female reproductive organ which bears the stigma. hence option D. and option B. are incorrect respectively.

Hence Option A. Ovule is the correct answer.
