Question

In flowers, the parts that produce male and female gametes (germ cells) are.

• A. Stamen and Anther.
• B. Filament and Stigma.
• C. Anther and Ovary
• D. Stamen and Style

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Anther and Ovary

The correct option is C.

Explanation for the correct option:

1. The anther is a structure of the stamen (male reproductive organ) that generates pollen (male gamete).
2. The ovary is the lower part of the pistil (female sex organ) that carries the ovule. In the ovule, a female gametophyte develops.

Explanation for the incorrect options:

Option A:

1. The stamen, also known as the androecium, is the male reproductive organ that generates male gametes or pollen.
2. The anther is a structure of the stamen (male reproductive organ) that generates pollen (male gamete).

Option B:

1. In flowers, the filament is a long stalk-like structure. The filament's proximal end is linked to the flower's basal, which is known as the thalamus.
2. The landing platform for pollen grains is termed as stigma.

Option D:

1. The stamen, also known as the androecium, is the male reproductive organ that generates male gametes or pollen.
2. Style is a long, slender portion that appears under the stigma.

Final answer: In flowers, the parts that produce male and female gametes (germ cells) are Anther and Ovary.
