Morphology of Flowering Plants
Description of Flowering Plants / Floral Formula
1 question, with its answer.
-
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: In a floral formula % stands for zygomorphic nature of the flower, and $\bar{G}$ stands for inferior ovary.
Statement II: In a floral formula $\oplus$ stands for actinomorphic nature of the flower and $\underline{G}$ stands for superior ovary.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:In Statement I of the original paper, the symbol given was circle-plus for zygomorphic and G-bar for inferior ovary, rendering Statement I incorrect while Statement II is correct.
In floral formulas: $\oplus$ denotes actinomorphic symmetry, % denotes zygomorphic symmetry, $\underline{G}$ denotes a superior ovary (hypogynous flower), and $\bar{G}$ denotes an inferior ovary (epigynous flower). Statement I inverted the symmetry notation and is incorrect, while Statement II is correct.
That is every question in Description of Flowering Plants / Floral Formula.
