Model Answer
Reproductive parts of angiosperm: Stamen (male) and Pistil (female).
Location: These are located in the flower.
Structure of Stamen (male reproductive part):
Stamen produces yellowish pollen grains. It consists of two parts:
- Anther – the terminal part that contains and produces pollen grains.
- Filament – the stalk that supports the anther.

Explanation
- The question has three parts: name the parts, give their location, and explain the male part's structure. Address all three even in a short answer.
- Examiners expect the two components of stamen (anther + filament) to be named clearly — this is where most marks are earned.
- Do not spend words describing the pistil here; the question specifically asks for the male reproductive part's structure.
- "Yellowish pollen grains" is a good detail from the textbook to include.
