When usingthe standard proteins it is typically assumed that the vv values of thestandard and actually measured protein are identical. With thisassumption, the ratio of the molecular masses of the two proteins isidentical to the ratio of their I(0)s normalized against the concen-trations.
The gametes (an egg and a sperm) fuse in the process of syngamy to form a 2 n zygote. The zygote divides mitotically to form a multicellular embryo ( embryogenesis), which is protected by either gametophytic tissues (such as remnants of archegonia in the nonseed land plants) or sporophytic tissues (the seed in the seed plants). An embryo,...
Embryo Sac. or female gametophyte, the sexual generation of angiospermous plants. The embryo sac develops in the central portion of the ovule (nucellus), where the maternal macrosporocyte, as a result of meiotic division, forms four haploid cells (a tetrad of macrospores), of which one develops (the rest atrophy).ormerly, the female gametophyte of gymnosperms was also called an embryo sac; however, it differs in principle from the embryo sac in the development of a massive multicellular gametophyte body and in the formation of archegonia.
