Question

Which of the following is TRUE regarding an incomplete flower?

• A. An incomplete flower always has 3 or less than 3 whorls
• B. An incomplete flower is a flower which lost a whorl due to friction with physical agents like water and wind
• C. An incomplete flower has 3 or fewer whorls because of it's genetic makeup
• D. Both A and C

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both A and C

An incomplete flower is a flower that contains either stamen or pistil. The plant has adopted this method genetically to avoid or prevent self-fertilization in flower (autogamy and geitonogamy). It contains calyx, corolla, stamen or pistil and in some calyx or corolla may also be absent.

So the correct option is 'Both A and C'
