Based on the fact that a watermelon contains many seeds, what can be inferred about a normal flower of a watermelon plant?
A. It contains very large anthers.
B. It contains many sepals and petals.
C. It contains a large number of ovules.
D. It contains a large number of stamens.
Ovules are the female gametes, or eggs, in plants. If many seeds are produced than many eggs were present to be fertilized. Sepals and petals are used to protect the flower and attract insects and birds for pollination, anthers are the male reproductive organs that produce pollen, or plant sperm, and stamens are the whole male reproductive organs that include the anther and the filament to hold up the anther.
