Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which part of the flower when removed would not result in fertilisation of a flower?
A
Petal
B
Sepal
C
Ovule
D
Filament
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is Sepal. The sepal is not a reproductive organ of a flower. The sepal is an accessory part of the flower. The stamen is the male reproductive part.

Detailed explanation-2: -After fertilization, the ovules become the seeds, and the ovary wall becomes the fruit.

Detailed explanation-3: -After fertilization in flowering plants, the sepals, petals and stamens of the flower fall off. However, the ovary remains attached to the plant.

Detailed explanation-4: -Flower fertilization requires both male and female gametes. If pollination does not occur it means that the male gamete is not available, hence fertilization cannot take place.
