Question

Most flowering plants can achieve pollination in several different ways. Those that produce pollen and carpels on the same plant may be self-pollinated, but they may also be cross-pollinated by insects or other pollinators. The cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana) shown here is able to produce seed whether it is self- or cross-pollinated. Is one type of pollination better for reproductive success than the other?

Based on the data in the graphs provided, approximately how many ovules are found in each gooseberry carpel?

Accepted Answer

Hey everyone. Let's take a look at this question together. Hibiscus can self pollinate by having their pollen transferred to the stigma pads of the pistol, which is the female organ of the flower inside the plant's ovary are what that develop into seeds upon fertilization. So let's recall what we've learned about the anatomy of a flower and specifically the female organs of the flower. To try to figure out what is found inside of the ovary of a plant that develops into seeds upon fertilization. So we know that when we're talking about the ovary and after fertilization they develop into a route and so contained inside of these fruits are obvious rules which is answer choice A the correct answer because we know that the uh vehicles are found within the plant's ovaries. And upon fertilization they develop into seeds. So answer choice A. Is the correct answer. Looking at our other options, we see endo sperm which we know is incorrect because the end of sperm is the tissue that the rounds the embryo. And so that is not what we're looking for. And then we also know that answer choice is incorrect because the answers are part of the male reproductive system. And we're talking about the female system. So that is not correct. And then lastly the styles are incorrect because we know that is found at the stock of the pistol. So the only option here that is the correct answer is answer choice A Because the officials are found within the plant's ovaries and they develop into seeds upon fertilization.
