The ovule of an angiosperm is technically equivalent to

Options

  1. AMegasporangium
  2. BMegasporophyll
  3. CMegaspore mother cell
  4. DMegaspore

Correct answer

A. Megasporangium

Step-by-step solution

The angiosperms are heterosporous. The stamens of the flower are the male sexual parts and they are highly modified leaves called microsporophylls. The microsporophylls produce anthers or microsporangia. Within the anther, there are special diploid cells called pollen mother cell or microspore mother cells. The microspore mother cells undergo meiosis to produce haploid microspores or pollen grains. The microspore produces a few celled male gametophytes, each male gametophyte has two cells tube cell and a generative
