In flowering plants, the megaspore becomes the female gametophyte. It is the larger meiospore produced in heterosporous plants, and is the embryonic sac of a flower.

What plant does not have free living gametophyte generation?

The plant that does not have a free-living gametophyte generation is the angiosperm (flowering plant). In angiosperms, the male and female gametophytes are enclosed within the protective tissues of the sporophyte. This is in contrast to gymnosperms, where the gametophytes are free-living.

What is female gametophyte?

Embryo sac is the female gametophyte of flowering plants. Situated in the flower. It is dependent on the sporophyte (what we call plant) for nutrition. here the gametophyte is reduced and sporophyte is dominant.In lower plants the female gametophyte is prominent and independent where it can photosynthesize. Usually it is called as a thallus. Here the sporophyte is reduced and the gametophyte is dominant.


Why can we say that the embryo sac is the female gametophyte of flowering plants?

The embryo sac is considered the female gametophyte in flowering plants because it develops from a megaspore through mitotic divisions and gives rise to the egg cells and other supportive cells necessary for fertilization and seed production. Just like the male gametophyte (pollen grain) produces sperm cells, the embryo sac produces egg cells for sexual reproduction.


What is meant by monosporic development of female gametophyte?

The female gametophyte or the embryo sac develops from a single functional megaspore. This is known as monosporic development of the female gametophyte. In most flowering plants, a single megaspore mother cell present at the micropylar pole of the nucellus region of the ovule undergoes meiosis to produce four haploid megaspores. Later, out of these four megaspores, only one functional megaspore develops into the female gametophyte, while the remaining three degenerate


The green leafy moss plant is part of what moss cycle?

The green leafy moss plant is part of the gametophyte phase of the moss life cycle. Mosses alternate between a gametophyte stage (producing male and female gametes) and a sporophyte stage (producing spores).


How are the life cycle of all flowering plants the same?

It has got a dependent gametophyte on main sporophytic plant body and embryo develops inside the embryo sac in all flowering angiospermic plants.

Is a pumpkin vine a flowering or non-flowering plant?

Yes, like all types of squash, pumpkins do flower. Each plant has male and female flowers. The male flowers grow on long, thin stalks, while the stalk end of the female flower eventually becomes the fruit. For a while, each pumpkin will still have a flower attached to its base. As the fruit matures, the flower will dry up and fall off.


what do you call the female structure in a flowering plant traps pollen grains?

The female structure in a flower is the pistil.


What composes afern gametophyte?

A fern gametophyte consists of a small independent plant body that produces both male and female gametes. The male gametes are produced in antheridia, while the female gametes are produced in archegonia. Upon fertilization of the female gametes, a diploid sporophyte is produced.
