How many eggs are present in an embryo sac? How many embryo sacs are present in an ovule? How many ovules are present in an ovary? How many ovaries are present in a typical flower?

Answer: Female gametophytes, or embryo sacs, are oval structures that are found in the ovules of flowering plants.

Embryo Sacs contain only one egg in each.

Embryo sacs are found in each ovule, and each has one. Each ovary contains a different number of ovules, and this varies from plant to plant. For example, maize can have a single seed, or it can have a large number.

The number of carpels determines the number of ovaries. There is only one carpel and ovary in a monocarpellary gynoecium. Bicarpellary refers to having two ovaries as well as two carpels. Having three carpels and three ovaries is referred to as being “tricarpellary” in this context. The medical term for multiple carpels and ovaries is “multicarpellary.”
