Question :Flowers are zygomorphic in which of these
Options: a. Ceropegia. b. Solanum
c. Datura d. Thevetia

Answer 1

Zygomotphic flowers have only one plane of symmetry, as in a pea or snapdragon; bilaterally symmetrical.

So option (c)Datura is the correct option!

Hope it helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

Among the given names, the Solanum niagram is zygomorphic. Some species of solanum has actinomorphic flowers too. But that particular species is zygomorphic.

Explanation:

Flowers are divided into two Classifications according to their symmetry. They are

• Actinomorphic
• Zygomorphic

Actinomorphic flowers are actually radially symmetrical, i.e. They can be cut into two equal parts via any plane passing longitudinally through them.

Zygomorphic flowers are actually bilaterally symmetrical, i.e. They can be cut into two equal parts by only one plane that passes longitudinally through them. Examples include peas etc. ,
