NEET · Biology · STD 11 - 5. Morphology flowering plants
Given below are two statements:
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.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
- B Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
- C Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
- D Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
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.
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.
