Question

Read the passage and answer the five questions that follow: In flowering plants, the process of sexual reproduction is finely tuned to ensure that the species continues to thrive. One essential step in this process is the formation of the male and female gametes. The male gametes, or sperm cells, are produced in the anther of the stamen, while the female gametes, or egg cells, are found in the ovule within the ovary. During pollination, pollen from the anther is transferred to the stigma, the receptive part of the pistil. After this, the pollen grain grows a tube through the style, reaching the ovary where fertilization can occur. The sperm cell then fuses with the egg cell to form the zygote, beginning the development of the seed. Where are male gametes produced in flowering plants?
