The number of cycles of mitotic cell divisions the megaspore goes through, before the embryo sac is fully formed is:
| 1. | 1 | 2. | 2 |
| 3. | 3 | 4. | 4 |
In angiosperms, the mature female gametophyte is represented by:
| 1. | Nucellus | 2. | Megaspore |
| 3. | MMC | 4. | Embryosac |
From the statements given below, choose the option that is true for a typical female gametophyte of a flowering plant:
| I: | It is 8-nucleate and 7-celled at maturity |
| II: | It is free-nuclear during the development |
| III: | It is situated inside the integument but outside the nucellus |
| IV: | It has an egg apparatus situated at the chalazal end |
| 1. | I and IV | 2. | II and III |
| 3. | I and II | 4. | II and IV |
Regarding the mature monosporic female gametophyte of angiosperms:
| 1. | The egg apparatus is at the chalazal end and the antipodals at the micropylar end. |
| 2. | The central cell has a diploid polar nucleus. |
| 3. | The structure is 8-celled and 7-nucleate. |
| 4. | Three sequential mitotic divisions lead to its formation. |
