Q

(phase) megaspore mother cell in the megasporangium of the ovule undergoes meiosis to produce 4 haploid megaspores

A

megasporogenesis

37
Q

(phase) suriviving megaspore divides by mitosis 3 times without cytokinesis to produce 1 cell with 8 nuclei which is then divided by membranes to form 7-celled embryo sac

Q

3 cells that position themselves opposite the micropyle; degenerate later on

A

antipodal cells

44
Q

nucleus closest to micropyle

45

46
Q

part of seed coat that develops from outer integument

47
Q

part of seed coat that develops from inner integument

48
Q

allows pollen tube to enter female gametophyte for fertilization

61
Q

4 mechanisms that prevent self-fertilization

A
