Question

If you remove androecium of the flower, what would happen?

• A. The flower will not reproduce anymore
• B. The flower will be incapable of becoming a fruit
• C. The flower will not produce the pollen grains
• D. The flower will shrivel up and fall off the plant

Answer 1

The correct option is C The flower will not produce the pollen grains

Androecium of the flower is the male part of the flower. It produces the pollen grains. These pollen grains will fertilize the ovules present in the female part of the flower. So naturally, without androecium, the flower will be incapable of producing pollen grains.
