Question 1
Explain the following terms:
(a) Incomplete flower
(b) Staminate flower
(c) Pistillate flower
(d) Bisexual flower
Answer 1
(a) Incomplete flower – If one or more sets of floral structures are missing, then the flower is called incomplete flower. E.g. American elm.
(b) Staminate flower – when A unisexual flower which contains only the stamens, i.e., then male parts of a flower is called male or staminate flower. E.g. Eastern cottonwood.
(c) Pistillate flower – when A flower which contains only the carpels, i.e., then female parts of a flower is called female or pistillate flower. E.g. Date palm.
(d) Bisexual flower – whenever A flower which contains both stamens and carpels then it is called bisexual or hermaphrodite flower. E.g. Hibiscus.
Question 2
Distinguish between the following pairs:
(a) Flower and inflorescence
(b) Petals and petaloid sepals
(c) Polyandrous and polyadelphous androecium
Answer 2
(a) Distinguish between Flower and Inflorescence
| Flower | Inflorescence |
| Flower is a specialized shoot in which the leaves are modified into floral structures. | Inflorescence is the mode of arrangement of flowers on the axis of the plant. |
(b )Distinguish between Petals and Petaloid sepals
| Petals | Petaloid
sepals |
| Petals are non-essential parts of a flower which help in protection of reproductive parts and make the flower attractive for pollination. | Undifferentiated petals and sepals together form the perianth. When perianth is non-green, it is called a petaloid. |
(c) Distinguish between Polyandrous and polyadelphous androecium
| Polyandrous
androecium |
Polyadelphous
androecium |
| In polyandrous androecium, filaments of the stamens are free. | In polyadelphous androecium, filaments of the stamens are united in several groups. |
Question 3
Where the following structures/parts located and what are their functions?
(a) Placenta
(b) Thalamus
(c) Anther
(d) Stigma
Answer 3
(a) Placenta:
Location: Cushion or swollen region in the ovary
Function: Gives origin to ovules
(b) Thalamus:
Location: Tip of the flower stalk
Function: Bears all the parts of the flower
(c) Anther:
Location: Part of the stamen
Function: Produces male gametes or pollen grains
(d) Stigma:
Location: Terminal knob-like part
Function: Serves as the landing place for pollen grains during pollination
Question 4
Why are the following described as stated :
(a) The androecium pea of flower is diadelphous
(b) Ray florets of sun flower as neuters
(c) Salvia speals as petaloid
Answer 4
D.LONG ANSWER TYPE of Chapter-4 The Flower, Selina Concise Solutions for ICSE Class 9th Biology
Question 1
Name the different types of androecium found in flowers.
Answer 1
Types of androecium in flowers:
Polyandrous: When the stamens of a flower are free, then the condition is called polyandrous.
Monadelphous: When the filaments of anthers in a flower are fused into one group, so the condition is called monadelphous.
Diadelphous: When the filaments of anthers in a flower are fused into two groups, therefore the condition is called diadelphous.
Polyadelphous: When the filaments of anthers in a flower are fused into more than two groups, hence the condition is called polyadelphous.
Question 2
Name the type of androecium found in
(a) China rose
(b) Bombax
(c) Pea
Answer 2
(a) China rose: Monadelphous
(b) Bombax: Polyadelphous
(c) Pea: Diadelphous
E. STRUCTURED/ APPLICATION /SKILL TYPE Chapter-4 The Flower Selina Publications Concise Biology Solutions for ICSE Class 9th
Question 1
The figure given alongside represents generalized arrangement of the different parts of a bisexual flower. Name the parts numbered 1-10.
Answer 1
1: Anther; 2: Filament: 3: Ovule: 4: Placenta; 5: Stigma;
6: Style; 7: Ovary; 8: Petal; 9: Sepal; 10: Receptacle/Thalamus
Question 2
Given below are two figures (A and B) of a. Study the figures carefully and answer the following questions:
(a) Which major organ of a flower does the figure A represent? What is the collective term for this organ ?
(b) Are the contents of the pollen sacs in B male or female?
(c) Can you state how the contents of the pollen sacs would come out?
Answer 2
(a) Figure A represents stamen. hence Stamens collectively form Androecium.
(b) Contents of the pollen sacs in B are male gametes.
(c) The contents of the pollen sacs would come out through agents like air, wind, insects leading to pollination in flowers.
Question 3
What are bracts? State their function.
Answer 3
When a flower arises in the axil of a leaf-like structure, this structure is known as bract. Because bracts are large and brightly coloured structures, Therefore they are often mistaken for petals. This helps to attract insects for pollination.
Question 4
Explain the terms Monadelphous, Diadelphous and Polyadelphous. In each case name a flower possessing such an androecium.
Answer 4
| Condition of androecium | Explanation | Example of flower |
| Mona-
delphous |
Filaments of the anthers in a flower are fused into one group | Hibiscus |
| Dia-
delphous |
Filaments of the anthers in a flower are fused into two groups | Pea |
| Polya-
delphous |
Filaments of the anthers in a flower are fused into more than two groups | Bombax |
Question 10
Name the different types of androecium found in flowers.
Solution 10
Types of androecium in flowers:
Polyandrous: When the stamens of a flower are free, Hence the condition is called polyandrous.
Monadelphous: When the filaments of anthers in a flower are fused into one group, so the condition is called monadelphous.
Diadelphous: When the filaments of anthers in a flower are fused into two groups, then the condition is called diadelphous.
Polyadelphous: When the filaments of anthers in a flower are fused into more than two groups,therefore the condition is called polyadelphous.
Question 11
Name the type of androecium found in
(a) China rose
(b) Bombax
(c) Pea
Solution 11
(a) China rose: Monadelphous
(b) Bombax: Polyadelphous
(c) Pea: Diadelphous
phous
(c) Pea: Diadelphous
