Answer 2

Answer:

a)  When calyx and corolla are not distinct the term used for this is tepal.

Explanation:

• When the calyx and corolla cannot be distinguished, a member of their collective whorl is called the tepals. A tepal is the non-sexually reproducing outer component of a flower (together known as the Perianth). When sepals and petals are difficult to distinguish, the term tepal is used.
• Sepal refers to the flower's outermost whorl. They're genetically modified leaves that don't reproduce.
• Petals are the brightly coloured structures that surround the flower's reproductive organs. They're leaves that have been morphologically altered.
• The Perianth is a structure formed by the merging of the calyx (sepals) and the corolla, which surround the sexual organs (petals).
