Suppose a young flowering plant has lost all of its flowers and they do not grow back. How will this most likely affect the plant's life cycle?

Question

A.
The plant will not be able to reproduce, because flowers contain all of the plant's seeds.
B.
The plant will not undergo photosynthesis, because chlorophyll is located only in the flowers.
C.
The plant will have a regularly functioning life cycle, because flowers are mainly decorative structures.
D.
The plant will have a long life cycle, because it will have more energy to use as food rather than to use for growing flowers.

Answer 1

The most likely answer is:

A. The plant will not be able to reproduce, because flowers contain all of the plant's seeds.

Flowers are essential for the reproduction of flowering plants (angiosperms) as they produce seeds. Without flowers, the plant cannot produce seeds and therefore cannot reproduce, which will significantly affect its life cycle.
