Meiosis of the megaspore mother cell yields four megaspores, with one developing into a multicellular female gametophyte containing two or more archegonia.
The megaspore mother cell undergoes meiosis to form four megaspores, one of which develops into a multicellular female gametophyte with archegonia.
| Text | The megaspore or mother cell divides meiotically to form four megaspores. One of the megaspores enclosed within the megasporangium (nucellus) develops into a multicellular female gametophyte that bears two or more archegonia or female sex organs. |
