Case Based MCQs

Direction Read the following and answer the questions that follow

Flower morphology consists of a large number of parameters, including the number and shape of petals, number of stamens, petal size and number and arrangement of styles and ovaries. Some of these characters, for example, the size of floral organs, seem to be controlled by several genes, whereas single (five petals) versus double (> 10 petals) was shown to be inherited by a single gene. Wild rose species (with the exception of Rosa sericea and Rosa omeiensis) normally have five petals but a variable number of stamens and styles.

Direction Read the following and answer the questions that follow

Floral formula is a symbolic and numerical representation of various floral parts of a plant family. It helps to ascertain the symmetry, sexuality and the arrangement of various floral parts like calyx, corolla, androecium and gynoecium. It also helps to describe the families of flowering plants in a sequential, brief and scientific language. While writing the floral formula, the bract are represented first, followed by bracteate, symmetry, sex of flower, calyx, corolla, androecium and gynoecium. The number of parts of each structure is indicated in numerals after their relevant symbol.
