Question

comment upon the statements a carpel is a modified leaf

Answer 1

Angiosperm means "vessel seed". Angiosperms differ from other seed plants in that they enclose their ovules (and seeds) within a carpel. The carpel is a modified leaf bearing the ovules, but the carpel is folded onto itself, wrapping the ovules inside

Answer 2

Carpel is a modified leaf and can have been originated from megasporophyll.

Explanation:

• The carpel is the reproductive organ of flowering plants and defining feature of the flowering plants, or angiosperms.
• This organ has evolved in the angiosperms as a female reproductive part
• The carpel appears to be a modified leaf, it may directly related to sporophylls present in gymnosperms or leaves that carry spore-producing organs.
• As the carpel is the female part of the plant it can be regarded as derived from megasporophylls that are the female part in gymnosperms.
