What flowering plants becomes the female gametophyte?

In flowering plants, megaspores become the female gametophytes.


The megaspore of a conifer will become?

The megaspore of a conifer will become the female gametophyte, which contains the egg cell. This structure is essential for fertilization and seed production in conifers.


What structure does the male gametophyte become?

In flowering plants, megaspores become the female gametophytes.


Conifers produce what in cones?

Seed are produced in the cones. The female cone contains ovules which, when fertilized by pollen, become seeds.


Why do gametophytes die after the sporophyte starts to grow?

The gametophyte is responsible for producing gametes, both male and female. When a male gamete fertilizes the female gamete, a zygote, or fertilized cell is created. This zygote matures and grows (through mitosis) into a sporophyte. At this point, the gametophyte has already done its job, and is not needed. Therefore it dies. The sporophyte releases spores, which eventually develop into gametophytes, and the cycle restarts.


What is heterospory?

Heterospory is the production of spores of two different sizes and sexes by the sporophytes of land plants. Heterospory was evolved from isospory independently by several plant groups in the Devonian period as part of the process of evolution of the timing of sex differentiation. Heterosporic plants produce small spores called microspores which either germinate to become male gametophytes or have reduced male gametophytes packaged within them, and similarly larger spores called megaspores that germinate into female gametophytes, or which have female gametophytes packaged within them.


Do gametes become gametophyte?

No, gametes do not become gametophytes. Gametes are reproductive cells that fuse during fertilization to form a zygote, which then develops into a multicellular organism called a gametophyte in plants. Gametes are only involved in the process of sexual reproduction, while gametophytes are part of the plant's life cycle.


What is a micro spore?

A microspore is is a part of heterosporous spore production, in which two types of sporophylls develop into two kinds of spores (eventually eggs and sperm). Microspores later develop in male gametophytes (sperm). Microspores start out as microsporangia in microsporophylls that later become microspores.


What conditions do you need for conifers sun or shade?

Conifers thrive in full sun to partial shade. They require at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day to grow and develop properly. In shady conditions, conifers may become leggy and have sparse foliage.


What habitat do conifer live in?

Typically conifers primarily live in cold places all over the world as they are adapted to live there. They will constantly shed and grow needles to have food and become dormant when it is too cold, this may cause them to stop growing for a period of time. But some conifers live in rain forests and in places like New Zealand because there are many types of conifers adapted for different places
