O Levels Biology (5090)•5090/11/O/N/20
Question 33 from 5090/11/O/N/20

Explanation

Male gametes form in the anther of a flower's stamen

Steps:

  • Recall flower structure: stamen includes filament and anther; carpel includes stigma, style, and ovary.
  • Male reproductive part is stamen; female is carpel.
  • Male gametes (sperm in pollen) develop in anther's pollen sacs via meiosis.
  • Match diagram labels to parts; A corresponds to anther.

Why A is correct:

  • Anther produces pollen grains containing male gametes, per angiosperm reproduction definition.

Why the others are wrong:

  • B: Filament supports anther but does not produce gametes.
  • C: Ovary houses female gametes (ovules).
  • D: Likely petal or sepal, involved in attraction, not reproduction.

Final answer: A

Topic: Sexual reproduction in plants
