Question

Zygomorphic condition is represented as
a. ⊕
b. %
c. P
d. G

Answer 1

Zygomorphic condition in the flowers is that having the floral parts which are unequal in size or form, so that the flower is capable of division into symmetrical parts, by only one plane that are passing through the longitudinal axis.

Complete answer:
- Floral formula is the numerical representation of floral parts of the plants and it also represents symbolically.
- It majorly tells the information about the type and number of organs and symmetry type, and it also represents the level of ovary and interrelationship with other floral parts, and at the same time it tells about androecium and gynoecium.
- When coming to floral symmetry, in Zygomorphic it can be divided only by a single plane passing through it. So it is represented by the symbol %.
- When coming to actinomorphic flowers, they can be divided into equal parts by passing the plane through the center of the flower, so it is represented by a circle with a plus symbol.
- There is a conventional method to represent the flower parts or floral parts and they are represented either by symbols or letters.
- It generally uses a series of capital letters, where K represents calyx, and C represents the corolla, and A represents the androecium and G represents the gynoecium.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B).

Note: The number of parts in the flower is represented by the numerical, if it exceeds and crosses the number 12, then it is represented by the symbol infinity. And the position of the ovary is represented by the line, if the ovary is superior, the line is below the number following G, and it is above if it is inferior.
