Question

For the formation of 100 gametophytes, the number of functional megaspores needed are

• A. 100
• B. 50
• C. 200
• D. 400

Answer 1

The correct option is A 100

In plants, meiosis occurs in diploid sporophyte to produce haploid spores. The haploid spores germinate to produce structures called gametophytes. The gametophytes in turn produce gametes. In angiosperms, the haploid megaspore germinates to produce haploid female megagametophyte. 100 mega spores will germinate to produce 100 mega gametophytes.
