bio gamete formation in plants

Microsporogenesis: The process where a diploid pollen mother cell (PMC) undergoes meiosis to form four haploid microspores (pollen grains). Megasporogenesis: The process where a megaspore mother cell (MMC) undergoes meiosis to form four megaspores. In most plants, only one remains functional to develop into the embryo sac (the 7-celled, 8-nucleate female gametophyte

Microsporogenesis

Megasporogenesis

Syngamy

<span>The fusion of male and female gametes during fertilization, resulting in the formation of a diploid zygote.</span>

Triple Fusion

The fusion of one male gamete with two polar nuclei in the embryo sac, resulting in the formation of the triploid endosperm, which nourishes the developing embryo.
