A complete flower produces
-
Stamens
-
Pistils
-
Both A and B
-
None of the above
A flower has four different whorls has calyx, corolla, stamen (male part) and pistil (female part) and if both reproductive parts are present in a flower than it is considered to be a complete flower.
Flowers are unisexual in.
-
Cyathium
-
Thyrsus
-
Verticillaster
-
Cyme
- A unisexual flower is a flower that possesses either stamens or carpels. Cyathium looks like a single flower.
- It has a cup-shaped involucre formed by bracts encloses a single female flower and a number of male flowers.
- Thus it has unisexual flowers with each male flower are as a single stamen while a single pistil represents a female flower.
- Also, it is a type of cymose inflorescence. Other options are not as unisexual.
- The correct option is A.
The number of whorls present in a bisexual flower is
-
One
-
Three
-
Two
-
Four
A bisexual flower is a flower that contains all the four whorls such as petals, sepals, the male reproductive structure (stamen) and female reproductive structure (pistil). Hence it is also called as a complete or perfect flower. Thus the correct answer is 'Four'.
The flowers are composed of
-
Petals, sepals, filament and carpel
-
Sepals, petals, stamen and pistil
-
Sepals, petals, anther and pistil
-
Petals, sepals, ovary and anther
The whorl of the flower are differentiated into two categories essential and non-essential whorl and are consists of
- Calyx which is considered as the outermost whorl and its unit is known as sepals and are green in colour helps in protection of flower.
- Corolla is the second nonessential unit and is composed of petals and are coloured and helps to attract pollinators.
- Stamens or androecium are the male reproductive part and responsible for the production of pollen grains (male gamete).
- Carpels, pistil or gynoecium are the female reproductive part and produce ovum (female gamete).
So, the correct option is 'Sepals, petals, stamen, and pistil'.
The female flowers are composed of the
-
Pistil, style and ovary
-
Anther, stigma and filament
-
Ovary, style and stigma
-
Ovule, anther and stigma
Carpels, pistil or gynoecium are the female reproductive part of the flower that consists of a stigma that holds the pollen grains, a style that leads the path of pollen tube and ovary produce ovum (female gamete). The flower that has the only pistil is referred to as female flower.
Choose the correct statement from the following.
-
Cleistogamous flowers always exhibit autogamy
-
Chasmogamous flowers always exhibit geitonogamy
-
Cleistogamous flowers exhibit both autogamy and geitonogamy
-
Chasmogamous flowers never exhibit autogamy
Cleistogamous flowers (that do not open at all) always exhibit autogamy, whereas chasmogamous flowers(with exposed anthers and stigma) can exhibit autogamy, geitonogamy or xenogamy.
The male flowers are
-
The flowers which contain only the anther
-
The flowers which contain the stamen
-
The flowers which contain filament
-
The flowers which contain only the pistil
Stamens or androecium are the male reproductive part contains filament which is aslender stalk and anther is bilobed and responsible for the production of pollen grains (male gamete).The flower with stamens is referred to as male flower.
Statement $1$ : Unisexual flowers are either staminate flowers or pistillate flowers.
Statement $2$ : Both monoecious and dioecious plants have unisexual flowers.
-
Both statement $1$ and $2$ are correct
-
Statement $1$ is correct but statement $2$ is incorrect
-
Statement $1$ is incorrect but statement $2$ is correct
-
Both statement $1$ and $2$ are incorrect
In flowering plants, the unisexual male flower is staminate, i.e., bearing stamens, while the female flower is pistillate i.e., bearing pistils. In some flowering plants, both, and female may be present on same individual (monoecious) or on separate individuals (dioecious).
Consider the following statements and select the option that correctly fills the blanks.
- Mucor mucedo is _____ fungi.
- China rose plant bears ________ flowers.
- Marchantia is a _______ bryophyte.
-
Homothallic , Bisexual and Dioecious
-
Heterothallic, Bisexual and Dioecious
-
Heterothallic, Unisexual and Monoecious
-
Homothallic and Unisexual and Monoecious
- Mucor mucedo is homothallic (self-compatible ) fungi.
- China rose or Hibiscus flower has both stamen and pistil present on the same plant so it bears a bisexual flower.
- In Marchantia is a liverwort in which male and female are born on different plants so it is dioecious bryophyte.
