In most of the angiosperms, megaspore mother cell (2n) divides by meiotic reduction division to produce four cells. Out of these, three degenerate and one remains, which forms functional megaspore. This divides mitotically and forms embryo sac.
A diagrammatic representation of the mature embryo sac-

Mitosis Somatic cells and stem cells divide by mitosis. Mitosis is completed through two main steps. Those two steps are karyokinesis (nuclear division) and cytokinesis (cytoplasmic division). Karyokinesis is completed through four steps. carly iloplas. Prophase: In prophase, condensation of basically thin thread-like chromosomes starts. Due lato prophtoo this, they become short and thick and they start to appear along with their pairs of sister chromdids. Centrioles duplicate and each centriole moves to opposite poles of the cells. Nuclear membrane and nucleolus start to disappear. B. Metaphase : Nuclear membrane completely disappears in metaphase. Chromosomes complete their condensation and become clearly visible along with their sister chromatids. All chromosomes are arranged parallel to equatorial plane (central plane) of the cell. Special type of flexible protein fibers (spindle fibers) are formed between centromere of each chromosome and both centrioles. C. Anaphase : In anaphase, centromeres split and thereby sister chromatids of each chromosome separate and they are pulled apart in opposite directions with the help of spindle fibers. Separated sister chromatids are called as daughter chromosomes. Chromosomes being pulled appear like bunch of bananas. In this way, each set of chromosomes reach at two opposite poles of the cell.
