Mr. NARESH KUMAR K · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: A
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
 **Primary Concept**: Flower Morphology
 **Related Topics**: Plant Reproduction, Sexual Reproduction in Plants
 **Prerequisites**: Basic understanding of plant reproductive structures (stamens and pistils).
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
  The question describes a flower possessing both stamens (male reproductive organs) and pistils (female reproductive organs).
  [Important conditions]: None
**Method & Steps**:
 1. Identify the reproductive structures present in the flower.
  Reasoning: Stamens produce pollen (male gametes), and pistils contain the ovules (female gametes).
  Formula/Rule: None
 2. Define the terms related to flower sexuality.
  Working: A bisexual flower (also called a perfect flower) has both male and female reproductive parts. A unisexual flower (also called an imperfect flower) has only one type of reproductive part (either stamens or pistils). A complete flower has all four basic floral parts (sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils). An incomplete flower lacks one or more of these parts.
  Key Point: The presence of both stamens and pistils is the defining characteristic of a bisexual flower.
 3. Determine the appropriate term for a flower with both stamens and pistils.
  Result: Bisexual
  Verification: The definition of a bisexual flower directly matches the description given in the question.
 ## OPTION ANALYSIS
A ✓: Bisexual - This is the correct answer because a flower with both stamens and pistils is defined as bisexual or perfect.
B :x: Unisexual - Unisexual flowers have either stamens or pistils, but not both.
C :x: Complete - A complete flower has all four whorls (sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils), but the question only specifies the presence of stamens and pistils.
D :x: Incomplete - Incomplete flowers are missing one or more of the four whorls (sepals, petals, stamens, or pistils).
 ## LEARNING AIDS
 **Common Mistakes**:
  1.Confusing bisexual with complete: A complete flower has all four whorls, while a bisexual flower simply has both stamens and pistils.  It's possible for a complete flower to be bisexual, but not all complete flowers are bisexual and vice-versa.
  2. Confusing unisexual with incomplete: A unisexual flower may be complete if it has all the other floral parts besides either stamens or pistils. An incomplete flower is missing one or more of the four main whorls.
 **Quick Tips**:
  1.Remember the key terms: Bisexual (both stamens and pistils), Unisexual (either stamens or pistils), Complete (all four whorls), Incomplete (missing one or more whorls).
  2. Visualize a diagram of a flower showing the location of stamens and pistils.
