Biology Question on morphology of flowering plants
Angle of divergence in tristichous phyllotaxy is
A
140?
B
135?
C
180?
D
120?
Answer
120?
Explanation
Solution
The arrangement of leaf on a stem or branch is called phyllotaxy. 120? phyllotaxy is found in tristichous or three-ranked 1/3 phyllotaxy.
Hence, the angular divergence is 1/3 of 360?=120? or 1/3 phyllotaxy.
