Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
(A) Apocarpous pistil — this matches (III) Michelia. The pistil of Michelia has many carpels, and they are free, not fused. A pistil with free carpels is called apocarpous.
(B) Water pollination — this matches (I) Vallisneria. The female flowers reach the water surface on long stalks. The male flowers or pollen grains are released on the surface and carried to them by water currents.
(C) Parthenocarpic fruit — this matches (IV) Banana. A parthenocarpic fruit develops without fertilisation, so it has no seeds. Banana is the common example.
(D) Non-albuminous seed — this matches (II) Pea. In pea the endosperm is used up completely while the embryo develops. So the mature seed has no endosperm left.
