Question

A mature,unfertilized ovule in an angiosperm is the result of
A)a single meiotic division.
B)a single mitotic division.
C)both meiotic and mitotic divisions.
D)mitosis from the megaspore mother cell.
E)differentiation from the suspensor tissues.

Accepted Answer

A mature, unfertilized ovule in an angiosperm undergoes both meiotic and mitotic divisions. The megaspore mother cell first undergoes meiosis to produce four haploid megaspores, one of which survives and undergoes mitotic divisions to form the embryo sac, the female gametophyte.
