A flower of pea (Pisum sativum) shows which type of floral symmetry?
AActinomorphic (radial, multiple symmetry planes)
BZygomorphic (bilateral, one symmetry plane)
CAsymmetric (no symmetry plane)
DSpiral symmetry like a snail's shell
Answer & 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.
