A bisexual flower can produce fruit even after its stamens are removed because it can still be pollinated by another flower, leading to fertilization and fruit development. The female part (pistil) remains intact and can be fertilized by pollen from a different flower, a process called cross-pollination.
Explanation:
Bisexual Flowers:
Bisexual flowers contain both male (stamens) and female (pistil) reproductive organs, allowing for both self-pollination and cross-pollination.
Removal of Stamens:
While removing the stamens prevents self-pollination within the flower, it doesn’t prevent cross-pollination.
Cross-Pollination:
Pollen from another flower can be transferred to the stigma of the flower, leading to fertilization.
Fruit Development:
Fertilization triggers the development of the ovary into a fruit.
Pistil Remains Intact:
Even if the stamens are removed, the pistil with its ovules is still present and capable of being fertilized by incoming pollen.
