Question

The carpels are obliquely placed in the members of
a. Malvaceae
b. Solanaceae
c. Euphorbiaceae
d. Musaceae

Answer 1

The carpels are obliquely placed in the Solanaceae Family (potato family).

The carpels are the female reproductory organs of the flower.

A carpel consists of a stigma, ovules and generally a style.

The flowers of the Solanaceae family are bicarpellary.

The two carpels are thus arranged in an oblique fashion because the posterior carpel in the gynoecium turn to the left and the anterior ones turn to the right.

The ovary in the carpel is superior.
