Solution

Meiotic divisions in an ovule take place in megaspore mother cells.

Explanation:

Meiotic divisions in an ovule occur in the megaspore mother cells, which undergo meiosis to form haploid megaspores that develop into the female gametophyte. This division does not occur in the nucellus or megaspore directly, but in the megaspore mother cells within the ovule.
