The male gametes in a flower and in a human are produced respectively in:
(a) stigma and ovary (b) anther and style (c) ovary and testes (d) anther and testes
Correct Answer: (d) anther and testes
Explanation:
The anther contains pollen grains which contain male gametes.
The anther is an oval-shaped sac located at the upper end of the stamen in which pollen is produced, stored, and later released from the plant. It can appear from light yellow to dark red so that they attract pollinators (honey bees) to flowers, and make the reproduction in plants possible.
In humans, male gametes known as sperm is produced in male gonads known as testes.
