The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "In catkin, the flowers are," we will analyze the characteristics of catkins and the options provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Catkin**: - A catkin is a type of inflorescence that is characterized by a pendulous spike. This means that the flowers are arranged in a way that they hang downwards. - Catkins are typically found in the leaf axils of certain plants. 2. **Identifying Flower Characteristics**: - Catkins are known to have **unisexual flowers**, meaning that the flowers are either male or female, but not both. - The flowers in catkins are **sessile**, which means they do not have a stalk (pedicel) and are directly attached to the main stem. 3. **Evaluating the Options**: - The options provided are: - A) Unisexual and sessile - B) Bisexual and sessile - C) Unisexual and pedicelate - D) Bisexual and pedicelate - From our understanding of catkins, we can eliminate options: - Option B (Bisexual and sessile) is incorrect because catkins do not have bisexual flowers. - Option C (Unisexual and pedicelate) is incorrect because the flowers are sessile, not pedicelate. - Option D (Bisexual and pedicelate) is also incorrect for the same reasons as option B. 4. **Conclusion**: - The only option that accurately describes the flowers in a catkin is **A) Unisexual and sessile**. ### Final Answer: The flowers in catkin are **unisexual and sessile**. ---
