AStigma
BSepal
COvule
DRunner
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Stigma
1. Pollen is transferred by hand from the anther of one variety to the second variety.
2. It is placed on the stigma, a sticky organ that traps pollen.
3. From the stigma the sperm travel down the pistil to the ova below.
4. Sepals, ovules and runners are not the landing surface for pollen.
