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?120? phyllotaxy is found in tristichous or three-ranked 1/31/3 phyllotaxy.
Hence, the angular divergence is 1/31/3 of 360?=120?360? = 120? or 1/31/3 phyllotaxy.
