NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The carpels contain the pistil, the female reproductive part of the flower. It comprises the ovary, style, and stigma. The egg or the ovule is present in the ovary.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sepals: These are the small, leaf-like parts growing at the base of the petals. They form the outermost whorl of the flower. Collectively, sepals are known as the calyx. The main function of the calyx and its sepals is to protect the flower before it blossoms(in the bud stage).

Detailed explanation-3: -The sepals are the small green leaves which protect the flower before it opens. All the sepals together are the calyx.

Detailed explanation-4: -Stigma – The head of the pistil. The stigma receives pollen, which will begin the process of fertilization. Style – This is the name for the stalk of the pistil. When pollen reaches the stigma, it begins to grow a tube through the style called a pollen tube, which will eventually reach the ovary.

Detailed explanation-5: -The top of the pistil is called the stigma, which is a sticky surface receptive to pollen. The bottom of the pistil contains the ovary and the narrowed region in between is called the style. The male contribution or pollen is produced in the anther, and seeds develop in the ovary.
