Which of the following structure represents the Female gametophyte of angiosperms? Correct Answer Embryo sac

The correct answer is Embryo sac.

  • In a majority of flowering plants, one of the megaspores is functional while the other three degenerates.

Key Points

  • The functional megaspore develops into the female gametophyte i.e. embryo sac.
  • This method of embryo sac formation from a single megaspore is known as monosporic development.
  • There is a characteristic distribution of the cells within the embryo sac. 
  • Three cells are grouped together at the micropylar end and constitute the egg apparatus.
  • The egg apparatus consists of two synergids and one egg cell.
  • Three cells are at the chalazal end and are called antipodals.
