Question:

Which among the following is a male part of a flower?

Options:

Pistil

Stigma

Stamen

Style

Correct Answer:

Stamen

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) - Stamen

Among the options provided, the male part of a flower is: Stamen

The stamen is the male reproductive organ of a flower, consisting of two main parts: the filament and the anther. The filament is a slender stalk-like structure that supports the anther, which is where pollen grains containing male gametes (sperm cells) are produced. The pollen grains are released from the anther and are transferred to the female reproductive organ of another flower for fertilization. In contrast, the pistil is the female reproductive organ of a flower, consisting of the stigma, style, and ovary. The stigma is the receptive surface where pollen grains land during pollination, and the style is the slender tube-like structure that connects the stigma to the ovary, where the female gametes (ova or eggs) are located.
