Question
The function of the filament is to a stamen as ______ is to carpel
Correct Answer
Option A is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The filament is a stalk that supports the anther in a stamen. Similarly, the style is a stalk-like structure that connects the stigma to the ovary in a carpel (pistil). Both serve a supporting role for other reproductive parts.
Hint
Consider the structural components of the male (stamen) and female (carpel) reproductive organs in a flower, looking for analogous supporting structures.
