Brief Explanations
- For the first question: In seed - plant ovules, meiosis and unequal cytoplasmic division occur. The megasporocyte (a diploid cell in the ovule) undergoes meiosis. After meiosis, there are four cells. Due to unequal cytoplasmic division, three of them disintegrate and one large megaspore remains. Pollen sacs are related to male gametophyte development (producing microspores which develop into pollen grains). Gametophytes are the haploid stages (male and female). Microspores are produced in pollen sacs and develop into male gametophytes (pollen grains).
- For the second question: Zygomycota members are often molds. They have a mycelium (mass of hyphae) that grows on or through organic matter. Chytridiomycota are mainly aquatic fungi with motile spores (zoospores), and their body forms are less likely to be described as a mass of hyphae growing on organic matter in the typical sense compared to Zygomycota.
