Answer 1

Flowers that have both male and female parts are called PERFECT flowers.

My initial answer was hermaphrodite. However, hermaphrodite is not only limited to flowers. It also cover animals which can produce both sperm and ova.

The correct term in reference to flowers that have both male and female parts is PERFECT flower. Sometimes, its called bisexual flower.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option B, Imperfect

Reason -

The flowering plant that have all male body parts or all female body parts or it has a combination of both male and female parts are called Perfect plant. Imperfect plants have either all male or all female parts.

While Hermaphordite are bisexual plants and consists of both male and female sex organ in the same plant (excluding all other male and female body parts)
