NEETBotanyMorphology of Flowering Plants
Symmetry Types Examples A. Actinomorphic 1. Pea, Gulmohur B. Zygomorphic 2. Mustard, Datura C. Asymmetric 3. Canna D. Cannot be determined 4. Cannot be answered
Options
- AA - 1, B - 2, C - 4, D - 3
- BA - 2, B - 1, C - 3, D - 4
- CA - 1, B - 2, C - 3, D - 4
- DA - 2, B - 3, C - 1, D - 4
Correct answer
B. A - 2, B - 1, C - 3, D - 4
Step-by-step solution
Actinomorphic flowers have radial symmetry, as in mustard and datura. Zygomorphic flowers have bilateral symmetry, as in pea and gulmohur. Asymmetric flowers cannot be divided into two similar halves, as in canna.
