In an angiosperm, the development of the embryo sac from a single megaspore is known as
- A.Monosporic development
- B.Bisporic development
- C.Tetrasporic development
- D.Apomictic development
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution
Correct answer: A — Monosporic development
Solution
- Meiosis in the megaspore mother cell produces four megaspores.
- In the Polygonum type, three megaspores degenerate and only one remains functional.
- The functional megaspore undergoes three rounds of mitosis to form the embryo sac.
- This process is termed monosporic development.
- Hence the answer is (A).
