Question

A student was given a bisexual, actinomorphic pentamerous, gamosepalous and gamopetalous with 5 stamens in epipetalous condition and bicarpellary syncarpous superior ovary and asked to state the floral formula. Which one of the following is the correct floral formula for the given flower?

• A. $\oplus$ $\text{Bisexual}$ $K_{(5)} C_{(5)} A_{5} \underline{G}_{(2)}$
• B. $\oplus$ $\text{Bisexual}$ $K_c \overbrace{C A} G...$
• C. $\oplus$ $\text{Bisexual}$ $K_{(5)} C_{(5)} A_{5} \overline{G}_{(2)}$
• D. $\oplus$ $\text{Bisexual}$ $K_{(5)} \overbrace{C_{(5)} A_{5}} \underline{G}_{(2)}$

Hint:

Parentheses () = United/fused parts.
Arc over symbols $\overbrace{\text{C A}}$ = Adhesion between different whorls (like epipetalous).
Underline $\underline{\text{G}}$ = Superior ovary (floral parts attached below it).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D
