Answer 1

Fuchsia is a complete flower. Fuchsia may have perfect or imperfect flowers on the same plant. We need to see the actual flower to determine this.

Snapdragon flower have bilateral symmetry. It is zygomorphic arrangement.

If we remove the corolla, the stamens attached to the corolla tube also gets removed. This type of union of floral parts is called connation.

There are also other type if unions: adnation in which fused parts are originating from different parts and sympetalous when petals are fused into a single tube.

The ovary is superior so, the flower is hypogynous.
