Flowers are also specialized in shape and have an arrangement of the stamens that ensures that pollen grains are transferred to the bodies of the pollinator when it lands in search of its attractant (such as nectar, pollen, or a mate).
For example, in one class of mutations, sepals develop where petals should and carpals develop where stamens should.
Filament the stalk-like portion of the stamen ("male" flower part) which supports the anther
