In angiosperms, microsporogenesis and mega­ sporogenesis

A

involve meiosis

B

occur in ovule

C

occur in anther

D

form gametes without further divisions.

(NEET-2015)

Solution

(a) : In angiosperms, microsporogenesis i.e., formation of microspores (or pollen grains) occurs by the meiotic divisions of diploid microspore mother cells (or pollen mother cells). Microsporogenesis takes place in the anther. Megasporogenesis $i.e.$ formation of megaspores occurs by the meiotic divisions of diploid megaspore mother cells. Megasporogenesis takes place in the ovule.
