Question

Correct floral formula of mustard plant:

• A. Ebr Ebrl \( \oplus \) ♂ ♀ \( K_{2+2} C_4 A_{2+4} \overline{G} (2) \)
• B. Br Ebrl \( \oplus \) ♂ ♀ \( K_{2+2} C_4 A_{2+4} \overline{G} (2) \)
• C. Ebr Ebrl \( \% \) ♂ ♀ \( K_{2+2} C_4 A_{2+4} \overline{G} (2) \)
• D. Ebr Ebrl \( \oplus \) ♂ ♀ \( K_{2+2} C_4 A_{2+4} \overline{G} (4) \)

Hint:

The floral formula provides a symbolic representation of floral structures.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the floral formula

The mustard plant belongs to the family Brassicaceae, and its floral formula is:
\[ Ebr Ebrl \oplus ♂ ♀ K_{2+2} C_4 A_{2+4} \overline{G} (2) \]
Explanation:
Ebr Ebrl: Ebracteate and ebracteolate
\(\oplus\): Actinomorphic
♂ ♀: Bisexual
\(K_{2+2}\): Calyx with four sepals arranged in two pairs
\(C_4\): Corolla with four petals
\(A_{2+4}\): Six stamens (tetradynamous)
\(\overline{G} (2)\): Superior ovary, bicarpellary

Final Answer:
\[ Ebr Ebrl \oplus ♂ ♀ K_{2+2} C_4 A_{2+4} \overline{G} (2) \]
