Q.

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: In a floral formula stands for zygomorphic nature of the flower, and stands for inferior ovary.

Statement II: In a floral formula stands for actinomorphic nature of the flower and stands for superior ovary.

In the light of the above statements, chocse the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A

    Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

  2. B

    Both Statement I and Statement II are correct

  3. C

    Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect

  4. D

    Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

Solution

In floral formulae:

  • is the symbol for actinomorphic (radially symmetric) flowers.
  • The symbol for zygomorphic flowers is .
  • (G with a line under it) denotes a superior ovary.
  • (G with a line over it) denotes an inferior ovary.

Hence Statement I (which says = zygomorphic and = inferior) is incorrect, while Statement II is correct.
