Development of Female Gametophyte or Embryo Sac

Trace the development of a megaspore mother cell to the formation of a mature embryo sac in a flowering plant.

In a flower, if the megaspore mother cell forms megaspores without undergoing meiosis and if one of the megaspores develops into an embryo sac, its nuclei would be ______.

Explain the monosporic development of the embryo sac in the ovule of an angiosperm.

In an embryo sac, the cells that degenerate after fertilisation are ______.

With a neat, labelled diagram, describe the parts of a mature angiosperm embryo sac. Mention the role of synergids.

From among the sets of terms given below, identify those that are associated with the gynoecium.

Embryo sacs of some apomictic species appear normal but contain diploid cells. Suggest a suitable explanation for the condition.

Draw the diagram of a mature embryo sac and show its 8-nucleate, 7-celled nature. Show the following parts: antipodals, synergids, egg, central cell, polar nuclei.
