Question
Differentiate between microsporogenesis and megasporogenesis
Solution
Microsporogenesis | Megasporogenesis |
The process of formation and differentiation of pollen grains from microspore mother cells by meiosis is known as mirco-sporogenesis | The process of formation and differentiation of megaspores from megaspore mother cells by meiosis is known as megasporogenesis |
Pollen grains are produced in the anther which is a broader knob like fertile part of the stamen | Ovules(which are future seeds) are formed in the ovary |
All the four pollen grains that are formed from microspore mother cell are functional | Only one out of the four megaspores is functional |
Is there an error in this question or solution?
