Okay today in science I got back my science yearly exam. Looking through the test it came to a question that they marked wrong and I think is ambiguous. I am happy to admit I am wrong if I am but I just want the go-a-head from some of you guys if I should pursue this mark. Could the anther of a flower be considered comparable to the penis or the testes. I looked at the question when sitting the exam and thougt, the anther is comparable to the male reproductive system and therefore stabbed at the penis as I sort of see the anther as the organ of "copulation".
Thanks Guys.

Edit: I got marked wrong obviously and the answer was siad by the teachers to be testes.

Anthers produce/release pollen, which then fertilises other plants or whatever. Testes produce sperm, fertilising and becoming a baby. Penis is really just a general term to use I guess, would be more comparable to the stamen in my opinion.
