Which one of the following statements is not true?A. Pollen grains are released from anthers at 2-celled stateB. Sporogenous cell directly behaves as the megaspore mother cellC. Megaspore divides twice to form an eight nucleate embryo sacD. Egg and synergids always lie near the micropylar end of ovule

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Megaspore mother cell is developed inside the nucellus and by a meiotic division, it forms four megasores. Out of these, generally three degenerate and remaining one is called functional megaspore. It undergoes mitosis three times without cytoplasmic division to form an eight nucleate embryo sac. Hence, statement c. is not true.
