Consider statements about plant biology: 1. The stigma is the receptive part of the carpel. 2. The anther is the pollen-producing part of the stamen. 3. The ovary develops into the seed after fertilization. Which are correct? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The carpel is the female reproductive organ of a flower, consisting of the ovary, style, and stigma; the stigma is the terminal, sticky receptive surface where pollen grains land and germinate. The stamen is the male reproductive organ, consisting of the filament and the anther; the anther is the terminal sac where pollen grains (male gametophytes) are produced. After fertilization, the ovule develops into the seed, while the ovary wall matures and develops into the fruit. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
