The process of formation of megaspores from the megaspore mother cell (MMC) is called megasporogenesis.

The megaspore mother cell is a diploid cell (2n)thatundergoesmeioticdivision(meiosis)toformalineartetradoffourhaploidmegaspores(n) that undergoes meiotic division (meiosis) to form a linear tetrad of four haploid megaspores (n).

Therefore, the formation of the megaspore from the megaspore mother cell involves meiosis only.
