The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the parts of the flower described and determine which part contains the gametes. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Organ X**: The question describes a "flask-shaped organ X" at the center of the flower. This organ is known as the **pistil**. The pistil is the female reproductive part of the flower. **Hint**: Think about the structure of a flower and which part is responsible for female reproduction. 2. **Parts of the Pistil**: The pistil consists of three main parts: - **Stigma**: The top part where pollen grains land. - **Style**: The slender stalk that connects the stigma to the ovary. - **Ovary**: The swollen base of the pistil that contains ovules. **Hint**: Recall the three components of the pistil and their functions. 3. **Identify Organ Y**: The question mentions "little stalks Y having swollen tops." These are the **stamens**, which are the male reproductive parts of the flower. Each stamen consists of a filament (the stalk) and an anther (the swollen top where pollen is produced). **Hint**: Remember that stamens are responsible for producing pollen, which contains male gametes. 4. **Locate Gametes in Organ X**: The question asks which part of organ X (the pistil) contains gametes. In the pistil, the **ovary** contains the ovules, which are the female gametes (eggs). **Hint**: Focus on the function of the ovary in reproduction. 5. **Final Answer**: Therefore, the part of organ X (the pistil) that contains gametes is the **ovary**. ### Summary of the Solution: The part of organ X (the pistil) that contains gametes is the **ovary**, as it houses the ovules (female gametes).

The top part A of the flask-shaped reproductive organ X in the flower of a plant secretes a surgery substance into its lower part B which goes towards the bottom part C of the flask-shaped organ. When a tiny grain D coming from the top part E of another reproductive organ Y in the flower falls on part A, it grows a long tube F through the organ X in response to the sugary substance and reaches the bottom part C of flask-shaped organ to carry out fertilisation.

What is the general name of organisms like X?
