What is meant by monosporic development of female gametophyte?


In flowering plants, the megaspore mother cell undergoes reduction division to form four megaspores but only one functional megaspore out of four enlarges and develops into female gametophyte and the rest three generate. The development of female gametophyte or the embryo sac from a single megaspore is called monosporic development of female gametophyte.
