When a flower has both stamens and carpels, it is described as:
Show Hint
Bisexual flowers are common in angiosperms, promoting reproduction efficiency.
- Asexual
- Unisexual
- Bisexual
- Dioecious
The Correct Option is C
Approach Solution - 1
Flower reproductive structure analysis:
(A) Asexual - Incorrect: Flowers with reproductive structures are by definition sexual.
(B) Unisexual - Incorrect: This describes flowers having either stamens (male) or carpels (female), not both.
(C) Bisexual - Correct: Flowers containing both stamens (male) and carpels (female) are termed bisexual or perfect flowers.
(D) Dioecious - Incorrect: This refers to plant species having male and female flowers on separate plants.
The correct answer is (C) Bisexual, also known as hermaphroditic or perfect flowers.
Approach Solution -2
- Asexual : Refers to reproduction without the fusion of gametes (e.g., budding, fragmentation).
- Unisexual : Flowers that have either stamens (male parts) or carpels (female parts) but not both.
- Bisexual : Flowers that have both stamens and carpels, making them hermaphroditic.
- Dioecious : Plants where male and female flowers are found on separate individuals.
A flower with both stamens and carpels is bisexual .
Final Answer:
(C) Bisexual
