Question

Sessile flowers lack which structure in the flower?

• A. Thalamus
• B. Anther
• C. Calyx
• D. Pedicel

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Pedicel

The Correct option is D.

Explanation of the correct option:

1. Flowers or leaves are borne directly from the stem or peduncle and thus lack a petiole or pedicel.
2. Sessile flowers or leaves are grown directly from the stem and peduncle.

Explanation of the incorrect option:

Option A:

It is incorrect because the thalamus is a terminal part of the pedicel, and it is a condensed axis of a flower from which the floral part arises.

Option B:

It is incorrect because another is present in every sessile flower, which includes Juncaceae, and Poaceae.

Option C:

It is incorrect because calyx is the outermost whorl of the flower, which consists of sepals that are small and green.

Final answer: Sessile flowers lack Pedicel structure in the flower
