Each flower normally has four floral whorls, viz., calyx, corolla, androecium and gynoecium.
Which of the following statements about floral whorls and their characteristics is/are correct? S1: Calyx and corolla are classified as accessory organs because they directly participate in sexual reproduction. S2: The perianth is a term used when the calyx and corolla are not distinct, as observed in flowers like lily. S3: Sepals, which constitute the calyx, are typically green and leaf-like, primarily functioning to protect the flower in its bud stage. S4: Petals, forming the corolla, are usually brightly coloured to attract insects for pollination. S5: Androecium and gynoecium are considered reproductive organs, essential for the production of gametes.
