Given below are two statements:
Statement I: In a floral formula $\oplus$ stands for zygomorphic nature of the flower, and $\underline{G}$ stands for inferior ovary.
Statement II: In a floral formula $\oplus$ stands for actinomorphic nature of the flower and $\underline{G}$ stands for superior ovary.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
- BBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
- CStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
- Correct answerDStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Solution
The floral formula symbol $\oplus$ is used for actinomorphic flower, while $\%$ is used for zygomorphic flower.
The symbol $G$ represents gynoecium and $\underline{G}$ symbol represent superior ovary, while inferior ovary is represented by $\bar{G}$.
Thus, statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
