Question

What is meant by monosporic development of female gametophyte?​

Answer 1

Answer:

When the female gametophyte (embryo sac) develops from a single megaspore, it is called monosporic development. Usually, in most angiosperms, the megaspore mother cell divides by meiosis to form four haploid megaspores arranged in a linear fashion.

Explanation:

Megaspore is the first cell of the female gametophyte. ... Monosporic development starts with meiosis in megaspore mother cell to form a dyad and then tetrad of megaspores. Out of four, one is functional that undergoes the three simultaneous divisions to form 2-, 4- and finally 8-nucleate and 7-celled embryo sac.

Answer 2

Answer:

What Is Meant by Monosporic Development of Female Gametophyte? ... The megaspore mother cell divides by meiotic division to give rise to 4 haploid megaspores, of which one develops into the female gametophyte and the rest of the three degenerate. This is known as monosporic development.
