Question

Match the items given in Column I with those in Column II. 

 Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
• B. A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
• C. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
• D. A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I

Hint:

When matching biological terms, remember that unisexual plants contain either male or female parts, whereas bisexual plants contain both.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To match each item correctly from Column I to Column II, we consider the characteristics of the plants and flowers:
A. Unisexual flowers are typically found in unisexual plants which only have either male or female organs, not both. Therefore, A matches with III (Contain only pistil or stamens).
B. Bisexual flowers contain both male (stamens) and female (pistil) reproductive structures and are typically found in bisexual plants. Therefore, B matches with IV (Contain both pistil and stamens).
C. Corn and Papaya are examples of plants with unisexual flowers, meaning they should match with I (Unisexual plants).
D. Mustard and rose are known to have bisexual flowers. Thus, D should match with II (Bisexual plants).
Thus, the correct matching is:
A-III (Unisexual flowers\(\rightarrow\) Contain only pistil or stamens)
B-IV (Bisexual flowers \(\rightarrow\) Contain both pistil and stamens)
C-I (Corn and Papaya \(\rightarrow\) Unisexual plants)
D-II (Mustard and rose \(\rightarrow\) Bisexual plants).
