female gametophyte
male gametophyte
male sporophyte
female sporophyte

female
male
complete
incomplete
Help afew biology questions i need help with my book dosent explain it very well?
A walnut is most likely dispersed by animals eating it, because it is too heavy to be carried by the wind, healthy nuts sink in water, and they can't get caught in animals fur.
Double fertilization occurs inside the ovule.
The megaspore in a conifer becomes the female gametophyte.
A flower with sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils is called a complete flower because it has both male and female parts.
Reply:1. walnuts have a thick 'skin' around the nut, so this would have to be removed by an animal. Squirrels often bury nuts that they find and then forget them, which can result in germination and therefore seed dispersal.
2. In the ovule. One fertilizes the egg cell to form the embryo, the other fertilization gives rise to the endosperm.
3. I have a book entitled Plant Identification and Terminology that says the megaspore becomes the female gametophyte.
4. this would be a complete flower.
