A student is recording the floral characters of two plants, Cassia and cucumber. Which of the following options correctly represents the floral symbol for the symmetry of Cassia flowers and the ovary position of cucumber flowers, respectively?

Step-by-step solution

Cassia flowers can be divided into two similar halves only in one particular vertical plane, meaning they exhibit bilateral symmetry (zygomorphic). The symbol for zygomorphic symmetry is % . Cucumber flowers are epigynous, meaning the margin of the thalamus grows upward enclosing the ovary completely and getting fused with it, while other floral parts arise above the ovary. This makes the ovary inferior. The symbol for an inferior ovary is G . Therefore, the correct combination is % and G . Answer: % and G
