Question

Floral bud is covered by
A. Petals
B. Anthers
C. Sepals
D. Stigmas

Answer 1

Angiosperms are flowering plants. These types of plants produce seeds. The seeds are usually present inside the fruit. The seeds are further processed and made into oils.

Complete answer:
Just like any other plant, angiosperms have leaves, roots, stem and flower. Talking of the flowers, they contain the male and female reproductive parts which are used for reproduction. Stamen is the male part and pistil are the female reproductive part. Stamen contains pollen grains which act as reproductive material. After fertilisation, a bud is formed which is surrounded by a group of sepals. It is green in colour and protects the bud from insects and environmental conditions.

Option A: Petals: They are colourful and bright in appearance. The insects and other pollinators sit on it and sucks the nectar. It is present inside the flower. Therefore, this is the incorrect option.

Option B: Anthers: It is present inside the flower on the top of a stamen and produces pollen. Therefore, this is the incorrect option.

Option C: Sepals: These are green in colour and are present in bulk around the bud covering it. Therefore, this is the correct option.

Option D: Stigmas: Pistil which is the female reproductive part in the flower is divided into style, stigma and ovary. Stigma is the top most section. The pollen enters through it. Therefore, this is the incorrect option.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C)

Note: After fertilisation, the ovules are converted into seeds and the ovary is converted into the fruit. Seeds can further germinate under proper soil, water and temperature. Angiosperms are further divided into monocotyledons and dicotyledons.
