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.

Will megaspores divide to form the female gametophyte or the sporophyte?
It will divide to form the female gametophyte.
The megaspore of a conifer will become?
female gametophyte...
What will be the ploidy of the cells of the nucellusMMCthe functional megaspore and female gametophyte?
Nucellus and MMC are and generally diploid and functional megaspore and female gametophyte are haploid in nature.
What are megaspores?
They form inside ovules and stayed attached to a parent plant, inside the mass they give rise to a female gametophyte that has an egg cell.
What do gametophytes produce?
Gametophytes go through mitosis to create gametes (pollen in male gametophyte and egg in female gametophyte)
Will megaspores divide to form the female gametophyte or the sporophyte?
It will divide to form the female gametophyte.
In angiosperms the male gametophyte is?
The male gametophyte in an angiosperm is the stamen. The female gametophyte in an angiosperm is the pistil.This is completely wrong. The male gametophyte consists of the generative cell and the tube cell in the pollen grain. The female gametophyte is the 7-celled 8 nucleate embryo sac.
The megaspore of a conifer will become?
female gametophyte...

Nucellus and MMC are and generally diploid and functional megaspore and female gametophyte are haploid in nature.
What are megaspores?
They form inside ovules and stayed attached to a parent plant, inside the mass they give rise to a female gametophyte that has an egg cell.
What structure does the male gametophyte become?
In flowering plants, megaspores become the female gametophytes.
What do gametophytes produce?
Gametophytes go through mitosis to create gametes (pollen in male gametophyte and egg in female gametophyte)
In flowering plant which of these becomes the female gametophyte?
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 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
What flowering plants becomes the female gametophyte?
In flowering plants, megaspores become the female gametophytes.
How many cells are there prior to pollination in the female gametophyte of a dicot?
There are seven cells.
What do we called along cellular protuberance that delivers sperm to female gametophyte?
chloroplst
