Questions Related to parts of flower and its functions

The classification of the flowers as unisexual and bisexual is on the basis of 

  1. Presence of flowers at the tip of plant

  2. Presence of anther and filament of plant

  3. Presence of stamen and pistil in the flower

  4. Both A and C


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Stamens or androecium are the male reproductive part and responsible for the production of pollen grains (male gamete). Pistil or gynoecium are the female reproductive part and produce ovum (female gamete). If both the organs are present it is called bisexual flower. If only one of them is present flower is referred to as unisexual.
So the correct option is 'Presence of stamen and pistil in the flower'.

Which part of the flower used in the formation of pollen tube?

  1. Style

  2. Stigma

  3. Anther

  4. Filament


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

  1. Carpels, pistil or gynoecium are the female reproductive part of the flower that consists of a stigma that holds the pollen grains, the style that leads the path of pollen tube and ovary produce ovum (female gamete). 
  2. Stamens or androecium are the male reproductive part contains filament which is slender stalk and anther is bilobed and responsible for the production of pollen grains (male gamete). 
So the correct option is 'Style'

Non-essential parts of flowers are

  1. Sepals and petals

  2. Sepals and carpels

  3. Sepals and gynoecium

  4. Androecium and gynoecium


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Non-essential parts of the flowers are the accessory parts that are not directly involved with the gametes formation and sexual reproduction. The whorls of the calyx (individual unit - sepals) and corolla (individual unit - petals) are involved in the protection of flower and attraction of the pollinators, respectively. So, these are considered to be non-essential parts of flowers.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Sepals and Petals'
