Best Answer: This is botany so inside the ovary: the female megasporangium (ovule) produces the megaspore that matures into the female megagametophyte. Deep inside the ovule is the gametophyte archegonium that produces ova (eggs). The ovule is layered like a Russian doll set = integument (seed coat with micropyle opening for pollen tube access) over the megasporangium (nucellus) containing the megagametophyte (mature spore & embryo sac) that produces the ovum. The ovary is the organ that produces ova (singular, ovum), or eggs. An ovum (plural ova, from the Latin word ovum meaning egg or egg cell) is a haploid female reproductive cell or gamete. Ova are produced by female gonads (sexual glands) called ovaries . Archegonium is the place where female gametes are produced.
The ovaries have 200,000 - 400,000 follicles, tiny sacks that contain the materials needed to produce mature eggs, or ova . The ovaries produce two major female hormones: estrogen and progesterone. The uterus is a hollow muscular organ located in the female pelvis between the bladder and rectum. The ovaries produce the eggs that travel through the fallopian tubes. Once the egg has left the ovary it can be fertilized and implant itself in the lining of the uterus. The main function of the uterus is to nourish the developing fetus prior to birth.
