Question
(a) What is a flower? (b) How many floral whorls are present in a flower?
Answer
(a) A flower is the reproductive structure of angiosperms (flowering plants) that is responsible for sexual reproduction. It typically consists of sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils.
(b) A flower typically has four whorls or sets of structures arranged in concentric circles. From the outermost to the innermost, these whorls are sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils. However, not all flowers have all four whorls, and some may have additional structures such as bracts or modified petals.
