Answer 1

Answer: anther is male reproductive part and his observation is right it may be unisexual flower which has only gynoecium in it

Answer 2

Answer:

His observation was correct.

Explanation:

The unisexual flowers lack one of these parts and hence they are not able to reproduce on their own. Therefore John must have seen a flower which was unisexual.

Flowers are generally divided into two types namely, Androecium and gynoecium. The flower which can fertilize and reproduce on their own are called Androecium and the flowers which need a counterpart to reproduce are called Gynoecium.

Anthers are the male part of a flower which are only present in plants which can self fertilize. These flowers contain Stamen and Pistil both which helps them in the process.
