Question
What type of cell division occurs during microsporogenesis and megasporogenesis events?
Solution
Both events (microsporogenesis and megasporogenesis) involve the process of meiosis or reduction division, which results in the formation of haploid gametes from the microspore and megaspore mother cells.
