Question

What is the megasporigenesis ?? Why it is linked with meiosis ??

Answer 1

Answer:

The essence of megasporogenesis is the formation of megaspores by meiosis of the megasporocyte (the megaspore mother cell). The transformation of the megaspore into the female gametophyte (the embryo sac housing the egg) is the centerpiece of the subsequent events of female sexual differentiation in flowering plants.

Answer 2

Megasporogenesis refers to the development of megaspores from the megasporocyte, the cell that undergoes meiosis. ... This developmental pattern is termed bisporic megasporogenesis because one of the binucleate cells, containing two megaspore nuclei, contributes to the female gametophyte
