Biology · MORPHOLOGY OF FLOWERING PLANTS
हिन्दीConsider the following statements about flower symmetry and floral parts: (A) When a flower can be divided into two equal radial halves in any radial plane passing through centre, it is actinomorphic. (B) Plum, rose and peach are examples of hypogynous flowers. (C) A trimerous, tetramerous or pentamerous flower has floral appendages in multiple of 3, 4 or 5, respectively. (D) Flowers with bracts—reduced leaf found at the base of the pedicel—are called bracteate. How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct answer · Option 3
Only three
Explanation
Statements (A), (C), and (D) are correct. Statement (B) is incorrect because plum, rose, and peach are perigynous, not hypogynous (hypogynous examples are mustard, china rose, and brinjal). Thus, three statements are correct.
