The flower contains specialized structures, the anthers and the pistil or gynoecium, in which the male and female gametophytes, respectively, are formed.

Are the male and female gametophytes separate plants or part of the same plant?
Male and Female gametophytes are in separate plants
What plants produce separate male and female cones that produce microspores and megaspores that develop into male and female gametophytes?
All the cyacads and conifers
What do gametophytes produce?
Gametophytes go through mitosis to create gametes (pollen in male gametophyte and egg in female gametophyte)
Is the gametophyte the dominant generation?
in bryophytes the sporophytes is diploid(2n) while the gametophyte in bryophytes is haploid(n).In bryophytes the sporophytes are totally or partially dependent on gametophytes while gametophytes are the dominant generation in bryophytes.Male sporophytes produce male spores and that of female produce megaspores of female spores while male gametophytes produce male gametes while female gametophytes produce female gametes
Gametophytes are found in?
Depends if you are talking about animals or plants. Plants: male gametophytes (pollen grains) are found in the anther(microsprangium), female ovules are found in the ovary (megasporangium). Animals: Generally male found in the testes and female gametophyes in the ovaries
What structure does the male gametophyte become?
In flowering plants, megaspores become the female gametophytes.
Does marijuana reproduce?
Yes there is male and female plants. Female plants produce the bud and male plants produce pollen sacs when the pollen germinates with the female plant it produces seeds.
What advantage do gametophytes that are either male or female have over gametophytes with both male and female structures?
The gametophyte will not fertilize its own egg.This increase the chance of offsprings will have new combination of genes
Male gametophytes of flowering plants?
Pollen Grains
What do new fern plants form?
New fern plants grow out of spores into gametophytes. There are male and female gametophytes that produce gametes respectively. Because ferns are pteridophyta, they lack sporopollenin to provide transportation of sperm in the absence of water. In the presence of water, the antheridia of the gametophytes release sperm, which travel through the water and swim into the archegonia of other gametophytes, where the egg and sperm fuse together to form a zygote. This zygote grows into a sporophyte, which is what you typically see and recognize as a fern.
In plants what are the names of male sex cell and female sex cell?
for humans it is sperm and for plants not sure Answer All animals and plants produce sperm cells and egg cells/ova. Some textbooks refer to the male sex cell as simply the male sex cell/gamete. It seems it should rather always be called a sperm cell as that is what it is. Angiosperms produce microspores/pollen grains which grow male gametophytes within themselves, which produce sperm cells.
WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF THE GYMNOSPERM SPORE?
The gymnosperms produce megaspores and microspores. A microspore is the male spore and megaspore is the large female spore. The microspore undergoes mitosis to produce the multicellular male gametophyte. These male gametophytes are the pollen grains that are contained inside short pollen cones. The megaspore is the large female spore that undergoes mitosis to produce the multicellular female gametophyte that is housed in a large female cone.
