MCQ
In angiosperms, microsporogenesis and mega­ sporogenesis
  • involve meiosis
  • B
    occur in ovule
  • C
    occur in anther
  • D
    form gametes without further divisions.

Answer

Correct option: A.
involve meiosis
a
(a) : In angiosperms, microsporogenesis i.e., formation of microspores (or pollen grains) occurs by the meiotic divisions of diploid microspore mother cells (or pollen mother cells). Microsporogenesis takes place in the anther. Megasporogenesis $i.e.$ formation of megaspores occurs by the meiotic divisions of diploid megaspore mother cells. Megasporogenesis takes place in the ovule.
