Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B 100
A megaspore mother cell or megasporocyte is a diploid cell in plants in which meiosis will occur, resulting in the production of four megaspores. Generally, within each sporangium, meiosis of a megaspore mother cell produced four haploid megaspores, In gymnosperms and angiosperms, only one of these four megaspores is functional at maturity and the other three degenerate. So, one megaspore mother cell upon meiosis gives one viable megaspore.
So, the correct answer is option B
