If a flower has all of its functional parts, it is referred as being what?
If a flower has only stamens or pistils, but not both, it is referred to as?
If a flower is missing one or more of its component parts it is referred to as?

How many sperm cells will a mature male gametophyte produce?
How many cells compose the mature female gametophyte?
In the female gametophyte, the two polar nuclei are fertilized by one of the sperm cells along
with the egg cell by another sperm. This process of a central cell and an egg cell being
fertilized by independent sperm cells is called?
