Question

What is the product of Meiosis II in the megaspore mother cell?

Options

• Two haploid megaspores in a dyad

• Four haploid megaspores arranged in a linear tetrad

• One diploid megaspore

• Eight diploid megaspores

Answer 1

During Meiosis II (equational division), each cell of the dyad divides again, resulting in four haploid (n) megaspores arranged in a linear tetrad. This tetrad represents the final product of megasporogenesis before degeneration of three megaspores.
