NEET 2024, Biology Q11: The Flower

NEET2024Biology
Q.

Identify the type of flowers based on the position of calyx, corolla and androecium with respect to the ovary from the given figures (a) and (b).

  1. A

    (a) Perigynous; (b) Epigynous

  2. B

    (a) Perigynous; (b) Perigynous

  3. C

    (a) Epigynous; (b) Hypogynous

  4. D

    (a) Hypogynous; (b) Epigynous

Solution

A flower is called perigynous when the gynoecium is situated at the centre and the other floral parts (calyx, corolla, androecium) are arranged on the rim of the thalamus, almost at the same level as the ovary — making the ovary half-inferior. Both figures (a) and (b) depict this arrangement, so both are perigynous.
