The correct Answer is:
To determine how many of the given structures are haploid, we need to analyze each structure one by one: 1. **Ovary**: The ovary is part of the female reproductive organ in flowering plants and is a part of the sporophyte generation. Therefore, it is **diploid**. 2. **Anther**: The anther is part of the male reproductive organ in flowering plants and is also part of the sporophyte generation. Hence, it is **diploid**. 3. **Egg**: The egg is the female gamete produced by the ovule in the ovary. Since gametes are formed through meiosis, the egg is **haploid**. 4. **Pollen**: Pollen grains are the male gametophytes that produce male gametes (sperm). Each pollen grain is formed from the microspore and is **haploid**. 5. **Male Gamete**: The male gamete is produced from the pollen grain and is also **haploid**. 6. **Zygote**: The zygote is formed when the male gamete fertilizes the female gamete (egg). The zygote is the first cell of the new sporophyte generation, making it **diploid**. Now, let's summarize the haploid structures identified: - Egg (haploid) - Pollen (haploid) - Male Gamete (haploid) Thus, there are **three structures that are haploid**. ### Final Answer: The number of haploid structures is **3** (Egg, Pollen, Male Gamete).
