Let’s go step by step to fill in the blanks correctly.
We’re talking about the parts of a flower and how they relate to reproduction.
First, remember:
- The
male part of the flower is called the
stamen.
- It has two main parts: the
anther (which makes pollen) and the
filament (the stalk that holds up the anther).
- The
female part is called the
carpel (or sometimes “pistil” — but in GCSE biology, “carpel” is often used for the whole structure).
- The carpel consists of three parts: the
stigma (top part that catches pollen), the
style (tube connecting stigma to ovary), and the
ovary (bottom part that contains ovules).
- The
male gamete (sex cell) is made in the
anther, and it’s found inside the
pollen grain.
- The
female gamete is found inside the
ovule, which is inside the ovary. And each female gamete is called an
egg cell (or ovum).
Now let’s plug these into the sentence:
> The male part of the flower is called the
stamen consists of the
anther and
filament.
> The female part of the flower is called the
carpel consists of the
stigma,
style and
ovary.
> The male gamete is made in the
anther and is found inside the
pollen grain.
> The female gamete is found in the
ovule and is called an
egg cell.
✔ All terms match standard GCSE Biology curriculum.
Final Answer:
The male part of the flower is called the stamen consists of the anther and filament. The female part of the flower is called the carpel consists of the stigma, style and ovary. The male gamete is made in the anther and is found inside the pollen grain. The female gamete is found in the ovule and is called an egg cell.
