In a typical flower, germinating pollen grains pass through several parts of the gynoecium before they reach the ovule. A list of the parts of gynoecium is given below in different combinations. Choose the combination that represents the correct sequence of pollen tube pathway/journey :
Options
- AStyle, Stigma, Ovary
- BStigma, Style, Ovary
- CPistil, Stigma, Ovary
- DOvary, Pistil, Style
Correct answer
B. Stigma, Style, Ovary
Step-by-step solution
- The gynoecium is the innermost whorl of a flower; it consists of (one or more) pistils and is typically surrounded by the pollen-producing reproductive organs, the stamens, collectively called the androecium. - Carpels and pistils have three parts: a stigma at the top where the pollen lands; a style and an ovary - The correct pathway is Stigma, Style And Ovary
