Question

An imperfect flower is a flower lacking?
Options
A both stamens and carpels
B either stamens or carpels
Correct Answer
C ability to produce flowers
D the standard petals
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

A perfect flower has both stamens (male parts) and carpels/pistils (female parts). An imperfect flower is missing one of these sets; it is either staminate (having only stamens) or carpellate (having only carpels).

Hint

Is a flower 'perfect' if it has both male and female parts, so 'imperfect' means missing one?
