Question

While visit to a garden john observed a flower that did not have anthers. what do you think can his observation be correct? justify your answer

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes he could have seen a flower with no anthers because some flowers are unisexual

Answer 2

Explanation:

• Yes, the observation may be true.
• Flowers can be classified into two types under the presence of the sex whorls i.e. Androecium and gynoecium.
• The flowers that have both the sex whorls i.e. Androecium and gynoecium are called bisexual flowers. These flowers are generally capable of self-fertilization.
• The flowers that have one of the sexes i.e. Androecium or gynoecium are called unisexual flowers. These flowers strictly need the help of other flowers for being fertilized.
• The flower observed by John was a type of unisexual flower that was a female flower, lacking androecium. So,he didn’t see any anther.
