Question

In a bisexual flower inspite of the young stamens being removed artificially, the flower produces fruit. Choose a suitable explanation for the above situation.

• A. Stamens removed but pistil is intact.
• B. Stamens removed but androecium is intact.
• C. Stamens removed but sepal is intact.
• D. None of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Stamens removed but pistil is intact.

When the stamen or the male part of the flower is removed, it will have no effect on flower-producing capability of the plant because the pistil or the female reproductive part is intact. So, by the process of cross fertilization, the stamen from other plant might fertilize the pistil of this flower, thereby producing a fruit.
Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
