How many plants among Indigofera, Sesbania , Salvia, Allium, Aloe, mustard, groundnut, radish, gram and turnip have stamens with different lengths in their flowers ?
- Three
- Four
- Five
- Six
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4: Six.
Explanation:
The plants with stamens of different lengths in their flowers are those that exhibit didynamous or monadelphous stamens, or other mechanisms where the stamens are not uniform in length. Among the plants listed:
Indigofera: Stamens are of different lengths (didynamous).
Sesbania: Stamens are of different lengths (didynamous).
Salvia: Stamens are of different lengths (didynamous).
Allium: Stamens are of different lengths.
Aloe: Stamens are of different lengths.
Mustard: Stamens are of different lengths (they are tetradynamous, having 4 long stamens and 2 short ones).
Groundnut: Stamens are of different lengths.
Radish: Stamens are of different lengths (tetradynamous).
Gram: Stamens are of different lengths.
Turnip: Stamens are of different lengths (tetradynamous).
So, the total number of plants that have stamens with different lengths is six: Indigofera, Sesbania, Salvia, Allium, Aloe, Mustard.
Conclusion:
Option 4: Six plants have stamens of different lengths in their flowers.

Morphology of Flowering Plants
Morphology in flowering plants tells us that every plant has two systems such as a root system and a shoot system. The root system digs deep into the ground and structures a system of its own. On the other hand, the shoot system is the one that is above ground level and includes various plant parts.
Root System
The descending part of the plant grows under the soil roots. During the germination process, the radicle from the seed grows earthward and branches out. The branches along with the primary root are called the root system. Roots lack chlorophyll and therefore they are not green in color. Roots are positively geotropic and hydrotropic, that is, they grow downwards ground and water, and negatively phototropic, which is growing away from light.
There are three types of root systems found in plants are as follows:
- TapRoot System
- Fibrous Root System
- Adventitious Root System
Shoot System
The stem is also an essential element of the plant. It is the ascending portion of the plant axis that bears branches, flowers, leaves, and fruits, as well as aiding in water and mineral conduction. It is the plant's aerial portion, brought about from an embryo's plumule or germinating seeds. Young stems are ordinarily green, but they finally turn woody and brown.
