2. Embryo- The embryo is formed after the fusion of fertilization when zygote develops, therefore, is considered diploid.

3. Megaspore- the big size spore which is formed from by the meiotic division of the megasporocyte, therefore, is considered haploid.

4. Sporophyte- the sporophyte generation develops from the embryo which is diploid therefore is considered diploid.
