differentiate between microsporogenesis and megasporogenesis which type of cell division occurs during these events name the structure formed at the end of these two events
Hello student,
Microsporogenesis is defined as the formation of microspores from microspore mother cells by meiosis . It occurs inside the pollen sac of the anther.
Megasporogenesis is defined as the process of arrangement of megaspores from the megaspore mother cell. It occurs in the ovule of the ovary.
- Meiosis occurs in both the above cases.
- Structures formed at the end : Microsporogenesis results in haploid microspore forming from the diploid microspore mother cell while megasporogenesis results in haploid megaspore forming from the diploid megaspore mother cell.
Thank you and good luck.
