A Correct answer
Explanation

Option 1 is the correct answer because flowers that bear pistils only are called pistillate flowers, which are considered as female flowers, and those that bear stamens only are called staminate flowers, which are considered as male flowers.

Multiple choice
  1. sporophytic phase in pteridophytes

  2. sporophytic phase in gymnosperms

  3. sporophytic phase in angiosperms

  4. gametophytic phase in pteridophytes

Multiple choice
  1. multi lobed

  2. bi lobed

  3. six lobed

  4. five lobed

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The typical angiosperm anther is dithecous, meaning it is bi-lobed, with each lobe containing two pollen sacs.

Multiple choice
  1. uni

  2. bi

  3. poly

  4. None of the above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Pollen grains are typically shed at a 2-celled stage containing a vegetative cell and a generative cell, which means they are bi-nucleated. Distractors like uni-nucleated fail to account for the mitotic division of the microspore nucleus.
