Question

In a bisexual flower inspite of the young stamens being removed artificially, the flower produces fruit. Provide a suitable explanation for the above situation.

Answer 1

A bisexual flower possesses both the male reproductive parts, stamens and female reproductive part, pistil. If the stamens are removed, pistil is present in the flower. On cross pollination followed by successful fertilisation, the ovary of the pistil would have developed into a fruit.
