Formation of Female Gamete Embryo Sac Development
Cells of Carpel Sac are 2n • Cell in Ovule divide by Meiosis and it becomes the embryo sac or Megaspore
Meiosis • 4 Haploid Cells are made • 3 die and 1 survive
Cell Division • Mitosis • Mitosis • Mitosis
8 Nuclei • The Embryo Sac swells and now contains 8 nuclei • This is also called the Megaspore
Nuclei in Embryo Sac • Polar Nuclei and Egg Cell survive • Other Nuclei die 2 Polar Nuclei Egg Cell
Double Fertilisation • 1 male gamete from the pollen grain fuses with the egg nucleus to form the embryo plant • Polar Nuclei join with the 2nd Cell form pollen grain to form Endosperm Fertilised Ovule = Seed Integument = Testa No water needed Adaptation to life on land
