Solution

Microsporogenesis
Megasporogenesis
It is the process of the formation of microspore tetrads from a microspore mother cell through meiosis.
It is the process of the formation of the four megaspores from a megaspore mother cell in the region of the nucellus through meiosis
It occurs inside the pollen sac of the anther.
It occurs inside the nucellus of the ovule.
Many megaspore mother cells are differentiated in a microsporangium.
Only one megaspore mother cell is differentiated into a megasporangium.
All four cells of the microspore tetrads continue to grow.
Only one of the four cells in the megaspore tetrad continues to grow.
