Question
Differentiate between microsporogenesis and megasporogenesis.
Solution
| Microsporogenesis | Megasporogenesis | |
| 1. | Microsporogenesis is the process of forming and differentiating pollen grains from microspore mother cells by meiosis. | The process of the formation and differentiation of megaspores from megaspore mother cells by meiosis is known as megasporogenesis. |
| 2. | Pollen grains are produced in the anther, which is a broader knob-like fertile part of the stamen. | Ovules (which are future seeds) are formed in the ovary. |
| 3. | All four pollen grains that are formed from the microspore mother cell are functional. | Only one out of the four megaspores is functional. |
