They form inside ovules and stayed attached to a parent plant, inside the mass they give rise to a female gametophyte that has an egg cell.

Will megaspores divide to form the female gametophyte or the sporophyte?
It will divide to form the female gametophyte.
What do parietal cells and chief cells produce together?
Parietal cells produce cover cells and chief cells produce micro and megaspores
How many cells are produced in males and females in meiosis?
there are 1001 cell produced in male and females meiosis During meiosis one microspore mother cell in the male results in to four microspores after meiosis; so is the case with megaspore mother cell also in females but out of four megaspores only one is functional and the degerating three megaspores nourish the developing one.
What is meant by monosporic development of female gametophyte?
The female gametophyte or the embryo sac develops from a single functional megaspore. This is known as monosporic development of the female gametophyte. In most flowering plants, a single megaspore mother cell present at the micropylar pole of the nucellus region of the ovule undergoes meiosis to produce four haploid megaspores. Later, out of these four megaspores, only one functional megaspore develops into the female gametophyte, while the remaining three degenerate
Do vascular plants produce antheridia and archegonia on the same gametophyte?
Only in those cases where spores are not differentiated into micro- & megaspores for developing the gametophytes. Thus homosporous vascular plants produce archegonia and antheridia on same gametophyte.
Are megaspores mother cells haploid?
no they are diploid
The seed plant spores that produce megagametophytes?
megaspores
After meiosis how many megaspores survive?
A) one
How many megaspores die if only four are produced?
three
Are all spores in the same sporangium similar?
no selaginella has megaspores and microspores
Female spores that eventually become female gametophytes in conifers?
megaspores
Do nonvascular plants have pollen?
No, at the most, these have micro-spores and megaspores
The result of meiosis in angiosperms is the production of?
for Plato its a answered by Brandy :)
Will megaspores divide to form the female gametophyte or the sporophyte?
It will divide to form the female gametophyte.
During sexual reproduction in a flowering plant four megaspores are produced and how many of them die?
three
What flowering plants becomes the female gametophyte?
In flowering plants, megaspores become the female gametophytes.
What type of spores do selanginella produces?
Selagenella is heterosporous and it produces both micro- & megaspores in its micro- and megasporangia.
