Solution

Sexual reproduction in flowers:

  1. Flowers are the primary reproductive organs in angiosperms and aid in sexual reproduction.
  2. Stamens and carpels are the male and female reproductive parts of a flower, respectively.
  3. Stamens collectively form a whorl known as androecium. Each stamen consists of two parts; the filament and the anther.
  4. Carpals collectively form the whorl called the gynoecium, with each carpel comprising the stigma, style and ovary.
