Answer: A, In flowering plants, the male gamete is stored in the stamen. In flowering plants, the male gamete is everyone’s favorite allergen, pollen.

Key Takeaway: Flowering plants produce male and female gametes. The male gametes are pollen and are stored in the stamen. The female gametes are stored in ovules which are stored in the ovary at the base of the pistil. Pollen is spread from the stamen of one plant to the pistil of neighboring plants in a process called pollination. Pollination generally occurs when insects and other animals transport pollen from one flower to another.
