A flower that bears only the androecium and lacks the gynoecium is called a:
ABisexual flower
BMale flower
CFemale flower
DSessile flower
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Male flower
1. A flower with both androecium and gynoecium is bisexual, like Hibiscus.
2. A flower with only one of these whorls is unisexual.
3. If only the androecium (male whorl) is present, it is a male flower.
4. A female flower has only the gynoecium, and 'sessile' means lacking a stalk, so those are ruled out.
