A

the nucleus of the male gamete fuses with the nucleus of the female gamete to form a zygote

18
Q

the embryo is formed after the zygote has divided

19
Q

what is the female gamete in plants and where is it produced?

A

the female gamete cell in plants are ovules, and they are produced in the ovaries
