Answers
Answer:
Gynoeciem and Calyx
Explanation:
The gynoecium, or female parts of the flower, comprises one or more pistils, each of which consists of an ovary, with an upright extension, the style, on the top of which rests the stigma, the pollen-receptive surface.
Calyx is the collective name for sepals of a flower.
Answer:
Gynoecium is most commonly used as a collective term for the parts of a flower that produce ovules and ultimately develop into the fruit and seeds. The gynoecium is the innermost whorl of a flower; it consists of (one or more) pistils and is typically surrounded by the pollen-producing reproductive organs, the stamens, collectively called the androecium. The gynoecium is often referred to as the "female" portion of the flower, although rather than directly producing female gametes (i.e. egg cells), the gynoecium produces megaspores, each of which develops into a female gametophyte which then produces egg cells.
Calyx or calyce (plural "calyces"), from the Latin calix which itself comes from the Ancient Greek κάλυξ (kálux) meaning "husk" or "pod", may refer to: Calyx (anatomy), collective name for several cup-like structures in animal anatomy. Calyx (botany), the collective name for sepals of a flower. Calyce (beetle), a genus of beetles.
