Abstract

Flowering plants produce intricate, often beautiful structures, within which their reproductive processes take place. These structures are the flowers. In flowering plants, as in more primitive plants, a diploid spore-producing generation (sporophyte) alternates with a haploid, gamete-producing generation (gametophyte). The male and female gametophytes of Angiosperms are reduced to microscopic structures enclosed within the tissues of the sporophyte. The functions of the gametophytes are the production of the sperm and egg cells and their union in fertilization. The pollen grain is the male gametophyte and the embryo sac the female gametophyte. The flower consists of specialized structures, the anthers and the pistil or gynoecium, in which the sex cells are formed.
