Question

Match the whorls of angiospermic flower given in Column I with their functions given in Column II.

Column I (Whorls of a flower)	Column II (Function)
(A) Androecium	(I) Protection of inner parts
(B) Gynoecium	(II) Production of microspores
(C) Corolla	(III) Production of embryo
(D) Calyx	(IV) Attraction of pollinating agents

Choose the correct option.

• A. A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
• B. A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
• C. A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
• D. A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III

Hint:

Match each whorl with its job: stamens make microspores, carpels bear ovules, petals attract, sepals protect.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
A flower has four whorls: calyx, corolla, androecium and gynoecium, each with a specific function.

Step 2: Matching
A - II: androecium (stamens) produces pollen grains, the microspores.
B - III: gynoecium holds the ovules in which the embryo develops.
C - IV: corolla (petals) attracts pollinating agents.
D - I: calyx (sepals) protects the inner parts.

Step 3: Choose the option
The pairs A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I match option (C).

Final Answer:
The correct matching is A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I, option (C). \[ \boxed{\text{(C) }\text{A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I}} \]
