What type of symmetry does a mustard flower have?

What type of symmetry does a mustard flower have?

Options

  1. AActinomorphic
  2. BZygomorphic
  3. CAsymmetric
  4. DTrimerous

Correct answer

A. Actinomorphic

Step-by-step solution

In symmetry, the flower may be actinomorphic (radial symmetry) or zygomorphic (bilateral symmetry). When a flower can be divided into two equal radial halves in any radial plane passing through the centre, it is said to be actinomorphic, e.g., mustard, datura, chilli. When it can be divided into two similar halves only in one particular vertical plane, it is zygomorphic, e.g., pea, gulmohur, bean, Cassia. A flower is asymmetric (irregular) if it cannot be divided into two similar halves by any vertical plane passing through the centre, as in canna.
