Gamete-forming cells | |
These are the structures that produce the male and female gametes (sex cells). They do this by mitosis. | |
In the ferns, the female gametes (eggs) are produced in the archegonia (singular = 'archegonium'), as shown in the diagram. | |
In the ferns, the male gametes (sperm) are produced in the antheridia (singular = 'antheridium'). | |
