Solution:

Ovary is a somatic cell so it is diploid 2n, anther is also diploid 2n, egg is female gamete and so it is haploid n, pollen grain or microspore is formed by meiosis so it is haploid n, male gametes are formed by mitosis from pollen grain and so they are haploid n too and zygote is formed by fusion of male and female gamete so it is diploid 2n.
