During the microscope session, we noted that the megaspores were larger in size and far fewer in number than the microspores.

Under the microscope, we identified a megaspore that would develop into a female gametophyte.

The botanist examined the megasporic tissue under the microscope to understand ovule development.

During ovule development, the megaspore mother cell undergoes meiosis to produce four megaspores, one of which develops into the female gametophyte.

In the developing ovule, megaspore mother cells undergo meiosis to produce megaspores that will form the female gametophyte.
