Name the gametes in a plant
A
Egg & sperm
B
Egg & pollen
C
Pollen & sperm
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Male gamete in plant is called pollen grain that contains two sperm nuclei and female gamete is called ovule that contains egg cell and two polar nuclei. Animals: Male gamete in animals is called sperm and female gamete is called ova or egg.

Detailed explanation-2: -A gamete is a reproductive cell of an animal or plant. In animals, female gametes are called ova or egg cells, and male gametes are called sperm. Ova and sperm are haploid cells, with each cell carrying only one copy of each chromosome. During fertilization, a sperm and ovum unite to form a new diploid organism.

Detailed explanation-3: -The two types of gametes are the male gamete and the female gamete. What is the male gamete? The sperm is the male gamete, taken from the male parent for sexual reproduction. The male gamete in plants is often found in the pollen of a plant, while the egg, which is the female part of the plant, is found in the ovary.

Detailed explanation-4: -Gametogenesis differs between the sexes. In the male, the production of mature sperm cells, or spermatogenesis, results in four haploid gametes, whereas, in the female, the production of a mature egg cell, oogenesis, results in just one mature gamete.

Detailed explanation-5: -Gametes are haploid cells. Male gametes are sperm and female gametes are ova (eggs). In seed bearing plants, pollen is the male sperm producing gametophyte. Female gametes are contained within the plant ovary.
