In Flowering Plants,the Only Structure to Which Pollen is Directly

Question

In flowering plants,the only structure to which pollen is directly transferred is the
A) style.
B) stigma.
C) ovary.
D) ovule.
E) micropyle.

Accepted Answer

Pollen is directly transferred to the stigma, which is the receptive surface for pollen in flowering plants. The style and ovary play roles in the fertilization and development of the ovules into seeds, but they are not the direct site of pollen transfer. The ovule contains the female gametophyte and is fertilized by pollen, but pollen does not "transfer" to it directly. The micropyle is a small opening in the ovule, but it is not the primary site of pollen transfer.
