(1) Differentiate Between Microsporogenesis and Megasporogenesis (2) Which Type of Cell Division occurs during these Events (3) Name the Structures Formed at the end of these Two Events

Answer: (1)
Microsporogenesis Megasporogenesis.
  Microsporogenesis is the process that pertains to the formation of microspores by the Mother cells of microspores through a method known as meiotic division. Megasporogenesis is a procedure of arranging megaspores from the mother cell of the megaspore.
It happens inside the microsporangia of the anther. It happens in the ovule or the egg cell of the ovary.
(2) The cell division that occurs during Microsporogenesis and Megasporogenesis is Reduction division or Meiosis, which bring forth haploid reproductive cell from diploid cells. (3) The structures formed at the end of these two events are
  • Pollen Grain or microspore at the end of the procedure of Microsporogenesis
  • Megaspore that explicates into an egg-producing or a female gametophyte at the end of the procedure of Megasporogenesis
