Choose incorrect option related to potato
family
(A) Alternate phyllotaxy
(B) Exstipulate leaf
(C) Parallel venation
(D) Actinomorphic flower
Answers
Answer: option c
Explanation:
Solanaceae family (commonly known as potato family) is one out of the 416 families of Angiosperms that plays an important role for the human race. Some examples are tomato, potato, brinjal etc.
Let's go through each of the options quickly.
(A) Alternate phyllotaxy is a characteristic of family solanaceae where the leaves are arranged on the stem in an alternate order.
(B) Family solanaceae lacks stipules (leaf like lateral appendages arising from leaf base). Thus the leaves are exstipulate.
(C) Most of the members of the solanaceae family have non-endospermic seeds. Thus they're dicots (that have reticulate venation) and not parallel venation. So option C is incorrect.
(D) Actinomorphic (radial symmetry) flowers are seen in family solanaceae that can be divided into two equal halves from any plane.
