Question

Flowers having both the stamens and carpels are called

• A. Asexual
• B. Conjugation
• C. Bisexual
• D. Unisexual

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve the problem, we need to identify what flowers are called when they have both male and female reproductive organs.

1. Understanding Flower Structure:
- Stamens are the male reproductive parts of a flower (anther + filament).
- Carpels (or pistils) are the female reproductive parts (stigma + style + ovary).

2. Definition of a Bisexual Flower:
When a flower contains both stamens and carpels, it is called a bisexual flower. It has the ability to perform both male and female reproductive functions.

3. Eliminate Other Options:
- Asexual: Refers to reproduction without gametes; not related to flower anatomy.
- Conjugation: A form of genetic exchange seen in some microorganisms, not plants.
- Unisexual: Flowers having either stamens or carpels, not both.

Final Answer:
Flowers having both the stamens and carpels are called Bisexual.
