That becomes the embryo and the new plant. Mitochondria and plastids that become chloroplasts are passed primarily from the female parent. What feature of the male or female gametophytes accounts for this?

a. The male gametophyte is formed in the anthers.

b. The female gametophyte is small and mobile and can pack a lot of cytoplasm into a
tiny space.

c. The female gametophyte is larger and formed from one surviving megaspore.

d. Meiosis is not involved in the formation of the female gametophyte.

Since the sperm and egg each contribute 50% of the nuclear genetic material to the zygote that becomes the embryo, mitochondria and plastids that become chloroplasts are passed primarily from the female parent, due to a characteristic of the female gametophyte is be larger and formed from one surviving megaspore (option c).

Explanation:

The megaspore is the product of the meiosis of a megasporangio, the cula produces four structures of which only one is transformed into a megaspore.

The female gametophyte is formed from the megaspore which, being large and having a greater quantity of cytoplasm, contains the mitochondria and plastids that will originate the chloroplasts in the embryo.
