Markscheme
  1. I is the stigma which receives the pollen/where pollen lands/is captured (during pollination);
  2. II is the anther and produces/contains/releases pollen;

Both name and function must be included in each marking point.

The role in pollination should be stated. Do not accept “pollination” on its own.

Examiners report

Many candidates confused the stigma and the anther. In many cases, even if the structures were correctly identified, a function was not stated (as requested by the question).
