Answer:

To receive pollen grains

Explanation:

A flower is a modified shoot which is meant for reproduction. The stamen is the male reproductive organ and the pistil is a flower's female organ. A pistil is located in the centre of the flower and is surrounded by petals, sepals and stamens.

Some flowers have a long pistil that reaches above the petals to receive wind disseminated pollen grains. This helps transfer pollen and fertilize the ova in the ovaries.

1 is C - see first attachment. Genotypes with Y's represent males, and big R represents red eyes, while little r represents white eyes. For example XRxr is a heterozygous (red-eyed) female, and XrYr is a homozygous white-eyed male.

2 is B because the absence of functional proteins and some ribosomes due to the mRNA strand is not as detrimental as the loss of the entire cell.

3 is B. (The insertion of 3 base pairs into a genetic sequence is the length of a single codon, meaning that only one amino acid in the entire polypeptide was added)
