Solution

Microsporogenesis
Megasporogenesis
In this process microspore mother cell undergo meosis to form a mirospoe tetrad.
In this process megaspore mother cell undergo meosis to form four megaspore cells.
It occurs inside the pollen sac of the anther.
It occurs inside the nucellus of the ovule.
In this process many microspore mother cell take part to produce microspores.
In this process only one megaspore mother cell is differentiated into a megasporangium.
All four cells of the microspore tetrads continue to grow and produce pollen grains.
Only one of the four cells in the megaspore tetrad continues to grow and produce embryo sac.
