alleryIn a flower described as PENTAMEROUS, the number of floral parts in each whorl is in multiples of:
A4 (tetramerous)
B3 (trimerous)
C5 — multiples of 5 (pentamerous)
D6 (hexamerous)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 5 — multiples of 5 (pentamerous)
Trimerous (×3), tetramerous (×4), pentamerous (×5).
Dicotyledons are typically tetra- or pentamerous
monocotyledons are typically trimerous.
This refers to the multiples of floral parts in each whorl.
