In a flower, the parts that produce male and female gametes are respectively:(a) sepal and anther    (b) filament and stigma    (c) anther and ovary    (d) stamen and style


Correct Answer: (c) anther and ovary

Explanation:

The anther contains pollen grains which contain male gametes, while ovary contains eggs which are female gametes.


The anther is an oval-shaped sac located at the upper end of the stamen in which pollen is produced, stored, and later released from the plant. It can appear from light yellow to dark red so that they attract pollinators (honey bees) to flowers, and make the reproduction in plants possible.

An ovary is the part of the female reproductive organ of a flower. Specifically, it is the part of the pistil which holds the ovule(s) and is located above or below or at the point of connection with the base of the petals and sepals.
