Question

Flowers having both the stamens and carpels are called

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

Hint:

Flower Types.

• Bisexual: Has stamens and carpels.
• Unisexual: Has either stamens or carpels.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

A bisexual flower has both stamens (male) and carpels (female). This allows self-fertilization. Unisexual flowers have only one reproductive part. Asexual and conjugation do not describe flower types.

Answer 2

Flowers having both stamens (male reproductive organs) and carpels (female reproductive organs) are called bisexual flowers.
Bisexual flowers contain both the essential reproductive parts needed for sexual reproduction within a single flower.
The stamens produce pollen grains, which contain male gametes, while the carpels contain ovules, which house the female gametes.
Having both reproductive organs allows bisexual flowers to potentially self-pollinate, though many have mechanisms to promote cross-pollination for genetic diversity.
Examples of plants with bisexual flowers include hibiscus, mustard, and rose.
This characteristic is important for plant reproduction and breeding, ensuring that a single flower can contribute to fertilization.
In contrast, unisexual flowers have either stamens or carpels, but not both.
Understanding flower types helps in botany, agriculture, and horticulture for crop improvement and breeding programs.
Thus, bisexual flowers play a vital role in the reproductive cycle of many flowering plants.
