Question 28
In a bisexual flower, the young stamens are removed artificially but the flower produces fruit. Provide a suitable explanation for the given situation.

Answer 1

In a bisexual flower, the young stamens (the male reproductive part of the flower) are removed artificially and yet the flower manages to produce fruit. This is because the pistil (the female reproductive part of the flower) is still intact which makes the flower capable of cross-pollination. When cross-pollination occurs, it eventually lead to fertilization and subsequent formation of the fruit.
