Question
The flower of a watermelon plant contains(a) Both pistil and stamen(b) Either pistil or stamenSelect the correct optionOnly one correct answerA.Both (a) and (b) are trueB.Only (a) is trueC.Only (b) is trueD.Both (a) and (b) are false
Solution
The correct answer is B. Only (a) is true.
Watermelon plants, like many other types of plants, have what are known as "perfect flowers," meaning they contain both male and female reproductive organs. The male organ is the stamen, which produces pollen, and the female organ is the pistil, which contains the ovule where the fruit develops. So, a watermelon flower contains both a pistil and a stamen. Therefore, statement (b) is false because the flower does not contain either a pistil or a stamen, it contains both.
