Solution:

In angiosperms, the female gametophyte is called embryo sac. Embryo sac is an oval multicellular haploid structure which is embedded in the nucellus towards micropylar half of the ovule. It is covered over by a thin membrane derived from the parent megaspore wall. It contains nudei but cells - micropylar, chalazal and one central.
