Which part of a flower contains a single carpel or a group of fused carpels, usually differentiated into ovary, style, and stigma and helps in the process of receiving pollen and fertilization?

The correct answer is Pistil.

Key Points

• The pistil is the female reproductive part of a flower.
• It typically consists of three main parts: the ovary, style, and stigma.
• The ovary contains ovules, which develop into seeds upon fertilization.
• The style is a slender stalk that connects the ovary to the stigma.
• The stigma is the receptive tip of the pistil that collects pollen.

Additional Information

• Sepals: These are the outer parts of the flower that protect the developing bud.
• Petals: Often colorful parts of a flower that attract pollinators.
• Stamens: The male reproductive parts of a flower, consisting of anthers and filaments.
• Pollen: The fine powder produced by the anthers of the stamens, containing male gametes.
• Pollination: The process by which pollen is transferred from the anther to the stigma, leading to fertilization.
