The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "When anthers and stigma mature at the same time it is called", we need to analyze the options provided and understand the definitions related to flower reproduction. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Key Terms**: - **Anther**: The part of the stamen that produces pollen (male gametes). - **Stigma**: The part of the pistil that receives pollen (female gametes). 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1: Protandry**: This term refers to a condition where the male reproductive parts (anthers) mature before the female parts (stigma). Therefore, this option is not correct for our question since we need both to mature at the same time. - **Option 2: Homogamy**: This term means that both the male and female reproductive structures (anthers and stigma) mature simultaneously. This is the condition we are looking for, making this option a strong candidate for the correct answer. - **Option 3: Isogamy**: This term refers to the fusion of gametes that are similar in size and shape. It does not pertain to the maturation timing of anthers and stigma, thus it is not relevant to our question. - **Option 4: Dichogamy**: This term indicates that the male and female parts mature at different times. This is the opposite of what we are looking for, so this option is also incorrect. 3. **Conclusion**: - After analyzing all the options, we find that **Option 2: Homogamy** is the correct answer, as it describes the condition where both anthers and stigma mature at the same time. ### Final Answer: **Homogamy** is the term used when anthers and stigma mature at the same time. ---
