CBSE Class 10 Science 2017 · Paper 31/1/C · Question 15
Name the three parts A, B and C of the flower shown in the figure and state one function of each.
Answer
A is the anther (makes pollen), B the style (path of the pollen tube), C the ovary (holds ovules, becomes the fruit).
A: Anther. It produces the pollen grains, which carry the male germ-cells.
B: Style. After pollination, the pollen tube grows down through the style from the stigma to reach the ovary.
C: Ovary. It contains the ovules, each with an egg cell (the female germ-cell); after fertilisation the ovary develops into the fruit.
