Detailed explanation-1: -The function of a flower is to carry out sexual reproduction in plants through the formation of male and female gametes. Flowers ensure that the gametes fertilise to form seeds that further help in reproducing plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -Flowering plants reproduce sexually through a process called pollination. Flowers contain male sex organs called stamens and female sex organs called pistils. The anther is the part of the stamen that contains pollen. Pollen contains the male gametes.

Detailed explanation-3: -In flowering plants, male and female reproductive structures can be found in the same individual plant. The organ of sexual reproduction is the flower. Male gametes are found in pollen grains and produced in the anthers of the flower. Female gametes are found in ovules and produced in the ovary of the flower.

Detailed explanation-4: -The most important function of flowers is reproduction. They help in the union of male and female gametes. Flowers provide nectar to certain birds and insects, which in turn help in the transfer of pollen from one flower to the other.
