1) The ovary contains a cavity lined with epidermal cells. Ovules develop from these epidermal cells and are contained within the ovary cavity, attached by a stalk called the funiculus. 2) The ovule has four main parts: the nucellus at the center containing sporogenous cells, one or two integuments surrounding the nucellus, the funiculus stalk connecting the ovule to the placenta, and the chalaza where the nucellus, integuments and funiculus merge. 3) A megaspore mother cell within the nucellus undergoes meiosis to form a megaspore, which
