Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants

Question:

Select the set of terms that is related to the gynoecium:

Options:

Stigma, ovule, embryo sac, placenta

Filament, pistil, style, ovule

Ovule, ovary, embryo sac, tapetum

Ovule, stamen, ovary, embryo sac

Correct Answer:

Stigma, ovule, embryo sac, placenta

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1)-  Stigma, ovule, embryo sac, placenta.

  • Gynoecium refers to the female reproductive part of a flower.
    • Stigma is the part of the pistil where pollen lands and germinates.
    • Ovule is the structure inside the ovary that develops into a seed after fertilization.
    • Embryo sac is the female gametophyte within the ovule, where fertilization occurs.
    • Placenta is the tissue in the ovary that connects the ovules to the ovary wall.

These structures are all directly related to the female reproductive system of a plant. Other options mention structures like tapetum (associated with male parts) and stamen (male reproductive organ), which are not part of the gynoecium.
