Question

Find out the incorrect match.
A. Sterile stamen – staminode
B. Stamens attached to petalo- Epipetalous
C. Stamens attached to perianth Episepalous
D. Free stamens- polyandrous

Answer 1

Hint: The structure and functions of flowering plants and the non-flowering plants are different. The stamens contain the anther on the tip of long slender like stamens and anthers are male sex cells. Stigma is the female part which holds and collects the pollen grains scattered during the nectar processing. Ovary is called the female sex cells.

Complete answer-
Option A Sterile stamen – staminode- the sterile stamens are called staminode as they do not produce the male sex cells- anthers hence, they are called as sterile. Hence, this statement is not incorrect.
Option A is not the correct answer.
Option B Stamens attached to petalo- Epipetalous- stamens are usually attached at the base to sepals and petals of a flower. petals are there to protect the flower from invaders. Hence, this statement is not false.
Option B is not the correct answer.
Option C Stamens attached to perianth Episepalous- stamens connected to perianth are called epiphyllous not episepalous. Hence this statement is false.
Option C is the correct answer.
Option D Free stamens- polyandrous- the free stamens and group of stamens together on the top of filament is called polyandrous. This statement is true.
Option D is not the correct answer.

Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Note:
The reproductive plant parts are- flowers and also seeds and fruits. The flowers are- the outcome of sexual reproduction and also used as plant identification. A flower contains pistil and stamen. Flowers are also distinguished by the dicots and monocots. The stigma is connected to the ovary at the base. The bud is collectively called sepals.
