The parts of flowers are diagrammatically represented as below:

Step by step solution

01

Flower

The flower is the reproductive part of the plants. The flowers contain reproductive organs, including stamen and carpel. The non-reproductive parts are petals, sepals, and receptacles. The flowers are responsible for sexual reproduction and producing fruits.

02

General parts of a flower

The flowers have petals and sepals. The petals are colored and differently shaped parts of the flower, attracting pollinators such as insects and animals and assisting the flower in pollination. The sepals are the greenish, leaf-like structures that surround the flowers and enclose the developing bud.

03

Reproductive parts of a flower

A flower has male and female plants which have flowers with either male or female reproductive parts. The male reproductive part is the stamen which contains anther and filaments.

Pollen contains the male reproductive cells formed inside the anther while the pollen moves to the female organs through the filament. The female organ is the pistil which contains stigma, style, and ovary. The ovary contains ovules or eggs of the flowers.

If flowers had shorter styles, pollen tubes would more easily reach the embryo sac. Suggest an explanation for why very long styles have evolved in most flowering plants.

Double fertilization means that

(A) flowers must be pollinated twice to yield fruits and seeds.

(B) every egg must receive two sperm to produce an embryo.

(C) one sperm is needed to fertilize the egg, and a second sperm is needed to fertilize the polar nuclei.

(D) every sperm has two nuclei

In a short essay (100–150 words), discuss how a flower's ability to reproduce with other flowers of the same species is an emergent property arising from floral parts and their organization.

Humans have engaged in genetic manipulation for millennia, producing plant and animal varieties through selective breeding and hybridization that significantly modify genomes of organisms. Why do you think modern genetic engineering, which often entails introducing or modifying only one or a few genes, has met with so much opposition? Should some forms of genetic engineering be of greater concern than others? Explain.

The black dots that cover strawberries are actually fruits formed from the separate carpels of a single flower. The fleshy and tasty portion of a strawberry derives from the receptacle of a flower with many separate carpels. Therefore, a strawberry is

(A) a simple fruit with many seeds.

(B) both multiple fruits and accessory fruit.

(C) both a simple fruit and an aggregate fruit.

(D) both an aggregate fruit and an accessory fruit.
