Biology Question on Anatomy of Dicotyledonous and Monocotyledonous Plants
Stalk of the Stamen is
A
Peduncle
B
Filament
C
Pedicel
D
Petiole
Answer
Filament
Explanation
Solution
The stamen is the male reproductive organ of a flower, and it consists of two main parts: the filament and the anther. The filament is a slender, thread-like structure that supports the anther, which contains the pollen grains.
The filament serves to elevate the anther and position it in a way that facilitates the dispersal of pollen. It is the structure that connects the anther to the rest of the flower, allowing the anther to be positioned for effective pollination.
Therefore, the correct answer for the stalk of the stamen is (B) Filament.
