Question: 125. Match List I with List II
| List I(Types of Stamens) | List II(Example) |
|---|---|
| A. Monoadelphous | I. Citrus |
| B. Diadelphous | II. Pea |
| C. Polyadelphous | III. Lily |
| D. Epiphyllous | IV. China-rose |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
(1) A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III
(2) A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
(3) A-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III
(4) A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
Answer: Option (1)
Explanation:
Monoadelphous stamens are those in which all filaments are united into a single bundle.
A common example is China-rose, hence A matches with IV.
Diadelphous stamens have filaments united into two bundles, usually in the ratio 9 + 1.
Pea flower shows diadelphous condition, so B matches with II.
Polyadelphous stamens have filaments united into more than two bundles.
Citrus is a typical example of polyadelphous stamens, therefore C matches with I.
Epiphyllous stamens are those where stamens are attached to the perianth.
Lily shows epiphyllous condition, so D matches with III.
Thus, the correct matching is A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III.
