Question

Meiotic divisions in an ovule take place in

• A. nucellus
• B. megaspore
• C. megaspore mother cells
• D. archesporium

Answer 1

The correct option is C megaspore mother cells

A megaspore mother cell, or megasporocyte, is a diploid cell in plants in which meiosis will occur, resulting in the production of four haploid megaspores. At least one of the spores develop into haploid female gametophytes (megagametophytes). The megaspore mother cell arises within the megasporangium tissue.

So, the correct option is, 'megaspore mother cells'.
