Statement I: In a floral formula \(\oplus\) stands for zygomorphic nature of the flower, and \(\underline{G}\) 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.

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The floral formula symbol \(\oplus\) is used for actinomorphic flower, while \(\%\) is used for zygomorphic flower.
The symbol \(G\) represents gynoecium and \(\underline{G}\) symbol represent superior ovary, while inferior ovary is represented by \(\bar{G}\).
Thus, statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct.
