Megaspore mother cell Megasporophyll Megaspore Megasporangium |
Megasporangium |
The ovule of an angiosperm is technically equivalent to: d) Megasporangium The ovule is a structure within the flower of an angiosperm that contains the female reproductive cells. It is considered equivalent to a megasporangium because it houses the megasporocytes, which are the precursor cells that undergo meiosis to produce megaspores. These megaspores eventually develop into the female gametophyte, which contains the egg cells. The ovule also includes other important structures such as the integuments, which protect and nourish the developing embryo sac.
