The gamete of a flowering plant, similar to an egg cell in animals.
The female gamete of a flowering plant, similar to an egg cell in animals. It is this structure which produces the female reproductive cells, and which develops into a seed after fertilization. In flowering plants, one or more ovules are enclosed in each flower; in gymnosperm plants, they are carried on the outside of structures such as pine cones.
