9 public questions tagged with this topic.

Which of the following statements about floral symmetry is correct?

Actinomorphic flowers, like mustard and datura, can be divided into two equal halves in multiple planes. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Botany section), Chapter: Biology - Botany portion covering relevant concept, Topic: Plant structure, physiology and applications.

Peloria mutant of Linaria is caused due to inactivation of:

That points to C: CYCLOIDEA. Compared with the other options, CYCLOIDEA is the one that correctly describes the ABCE & ABCDE MODEL +Synapdrgon flowering concept. The wrong ones are A) DIV; B) RAD; D) AG. If you’re stuck, eliminate anything that contradicts a basic fact you already know for this topic.

Mutation in CYCLOIDEA gene leads to:

Correct option is B, Radial symmetry. In ABCE & ABCDE MODEL +Synapdrgon flowering problems like this, the accurate statement is Radial symmetry; the others are common mix-ups. Not these: A) Bilateral symmetry; C) Extra petals; D) Loss of sepals. Tissue transport questions usually turn on xylem vs phloem, living vs dead cells, or source vs sink.

RAD represses which gene to control ventral identity?

Pick C: DIV. Thinking through ABCE & ABCDE MODEL +Synapdrgon flowering step by step rules out the lookalikes and leaves DIV. Skip these: A) CYC; B) DICH; D) SEP. For hormones and genes, match the molecule or gene to its real role, not a neighboring pathway.
