megasporophyll of cycas is equivalent to which part of angiosperm
Answers
Answer:
Cycads are unisexual plants, where male and female flowers grow separately on different plants.
Thus, megasporophylls of Cycas are same as the carpel of angiosperms.
As the carpel of a angiosperm contains a stigma, style and an ovary; megasporophyll also contains a stalk and a fertile part with multiple ovules. So seeds grow on these megasporophylls or female cones of Cycas plants.
Megasporophylls of cycas is similar to the carpel of the angiosperms.
Explanation:
This is because the carpel have stigma, style and an ovary which are reproductive parts whereas in megasporophylls contains stalk and a fertile part with multiple ovules known as megapsorophylls. As we know that cycas is an unisexual plant. Its male and female reproductive organs grow on different parts of the plant.
Seeds grow on these megasporophylls. Stigma is the part where pollen generates. Style is a long tube connected to the ovary. Ovary is the place where pollen seeds enter to make fruits.
