Worked practice questions

A flower of pea (Pisum sativum) shows which type of floral symmetry?

  1. Actinomorphic (radial, multiple symmetry planes)
  2. Zygomorphic (bilateral, one symmetry plane)
  3. Asymmetric (no symmetry plane)
  4. Spiral symmetry like a snail's shell
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Zygomorphic (bilateral, one symmetry plane)

Pea flower = zygomorphic (bilateral symmetry, only ONE plane of symmetry). The papilionaceous corolla has 1 standard + 2 wings + 2 fused keel petals, all bilateral.

In tomato, the ovules are arranged on the central axis of a multi-loculed ovary. This placentation is:

  1. Marginal placentation (in pea, single locule)
  2. Parietal placentation (mustard, on inner wall)
  3. Axile placentation (tomato, multi-loculed)
  4. Basal placentation (sunflower, single ovule)
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Axile placentation (tomato, multi-loculed)

In tomato, the ovary is divided into multiple LOCULES by septa, and ovules attach to the central axis. This is AXILE placentation. Marginal (pea) has single locule parietal (mustard) on wall basal (sunflower) single ovule at base.

JACKFRUIT is an example of which fruit type?

  1. Simple fruit (from a single ovary)
  2. Aggregate fruit (multi-ovaries of one flower)
  3. Berry fruit type (fleshy multi-seeded)
  4. Composite / multiple fruit (whole inflorescence)
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Composite / multiple fruit (whole inflorescence)

JACKFRUIT = COMPOSITE / MULTIPLE fruit. Formed from an entire inflorescence (many flowers fused). **Other composite fruits:** pineapple, mulberry. Strawberry = aggregate (one flower, multiple carpels). Mango = simple drupe.
