Match List I with List II regarding floral symbols and their descriptions. (A) (I) Epipetalous (B) C A (II) Syncarpous (C) G _ (2) (III) Actinomorphic (D) P (IV) Perianth (V) Apocarpous Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- A(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(V), (D)-(I)
- B(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)
- C(A)-(V), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)
- D(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(V), (D)-(IV)
Correct answer
B. (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)
Step-by-step solution
The symbol represents actinomorphic (radial) symmetry. The arc in C A indicates adhesion between the corolla (C) and androecium (A), which is the epipetalous condition. The symbol G _ (2) represents a bicarpellary gynoecium, and the brackets indicate that the carpels are fused (syncarpous condition). The symbol P stands for the perianth. Thus, the correct matching is (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV). Answer: (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)
