Question

The part of the flower that contains ovules is ______.

Options

• carpel

• stamen

• petal

• sepal

Answer 1

The part of the flower that contains ovules is carpel.

Explanation:

The carpel is the part of the flower that contains the ovules. It consists of the ovary, style, and stigma. The ovary houses one or more ovules where fertilization occurs and seeds develop after fertilization. Other parts, such as the stamen, petal, and sepal, do not contain ovules; stamens produce pollen, petals attract pollinators, and sepals protect the flower bud.
