The male and female gametophytes differ in a way such that the pollen grain or microspore produces the male gametophyte while the megaspore produces the female one. These two are the stages of heterosporous plants. The male gametophyte. In an immature anther, the male gametophyte develops. The male reproductive system of a plant contains … Read more
