The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "Embryo sac represents," we need to analyze the options provided and understand the role of the embryo sac in flowering plants. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Embryo Sac**: - The embryo sac is a crucial structure in flowering plants (angiosperms) that develops within the ovule. - It is formed from the megaspore mother cell through a series of divisions. 2. **Identifying the Options**: - The options given are: - A) Megaspore - B) Female gamete - C) Megasporophyll - D) Mega gametophyte 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **A) Megaspore**: This is the initial cell that undergoes meiosis to form the embryo sac but is not the same as the embryo sac itself. - **B) Female gamete**: This refers to the egg cell within the embryo sac, but the embryo sac encompasses more than just the egg cell. - **C) Megasporophyll**: This is the leaf-like structure that bears the megasporangia and is not synonymous with the embryo sac. - **D) Mega gametophyte**: This term refers to the entire structure of the embryo sac, which includes the egg cell and other cells. 4. **Conclusion**: - The embryo sac is best described as a **mega gametophyte**. Therefore, the correct answer is **Option D: Mega gametophyte**. ### Final Answer: The embryo sac represents the **mega gametophyte**. ---
