Where does the gynoecium lie?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a Outside the petals
- b At the centre of the flower
- c Below the sepals
- d Beside the stamens
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: b At the centre of the flower
The gynoecium (carpel whorl) lies at the centre of the flower.
Why the other options are wrong
- a Outside the petals: It is the calyx that lies outside the petals; the gynoecium is innermost.
- c Below the sepals: Below the sepals lies the thalamus, not the gynoecium.
- d Beside the stamens: Being beside the stamens does not describe its position; the gynoecium sits in the middle of all the whorls.
