Which of the following is the first cell of female gametophytic generation in Angiosperms ? A) Megaspore mother cell B) Microspore mother cell C) Functional megaspore D) Egg cell

Correct option:(C)Functional megaspore

Solution:

• Megaspore mother cell of megasporangium undergoes meiosis.
• It forms megaspore tetrad out of which one megaspore is functional.
• Functional megaspores develop mitotically into the embryo sac.
• So, the functional megaspore serves as the first cell of the female gametophyte.
