Correct Answer:
(a) Roots absorb water and minerals from the soil.
(b) The stem holds the plant upright.
(c) Stem conducts water to the leaves.
(d) The number of petals and stamens in a flower may be equal or different in different plants.
(e) If the sepals of a flower are joined together, then its petals may or may not be joined together.
(f) If the petals of a flower are joined together, then the pistil is not necessarily joined to the petal.
Explanation:
A flower consists of four main parts: petals, carpels, sepals, and stamens.
Sepals are the leafy structures that encompass the flower bud. Petals have highlighting colors to attract insects for pollination. The androecium is a male reproductive structure that consists of stamens. It is comprised of filament and an anther which holds the pollen grains.
The gynoecium is a female reproductive structure that consists of carpels. It is consist of three structures such as style, ovary, and stigma. Pollen sticks on stigma and reaches the ovary through the way of style. The ovary consists of ovules that produce the seed.

- DIRECTIONS: Read the passage(s) given below and answer the questions that follow. Passage- The transfer of pollen from the another to the stigma of a flower is called pollination.If the pollen of a flower lands on the stigma of the same flower, or on the stigma of another flower of the same plant, it is called self-pollination. When the pollen of a flower lands on the stigma of another flower of a different plant of the same kind, it is called cross-pollination.In cross-pollination,(a) the pollen of a flower lands on the stigma of another flower of the same plant.(b) the pollen of a flower lands on the stigma of another flower of a different plant of the same kind.(c) both the above are correct.(d) none of these is correct.

- When an insect sits on the flower of a plant then some particles A present in the top of little stalks in the flower attach to its body hair. When this insect now sits on the flower of another similar plant, then particles A attached to the hair of insect are put on the top of a flask-shaped organ at the centre of flower. The particle A grows a long tube B from the top of flask-shaped organ through which C moves down and reaches the bottom part of flask-shaped organ. Here C fuses with the nucleus of D contained in structure E. The fusion of C and D forms new cell F which grows and develops into a seed of the plant.(a)What are particles A?
