Why is flower called equal?
Answers
Answer:
A cyclic flower which can be divided into two equal vertical halves by any vertical plane is said to be actinomorphic. Here, petals are in radial symmetry i.e. all the petals are identical in size and shape. The bilaterally symmetrical flowers which are symmetrical in only one plane and can be cut into two equal halves through single vertical pane only are said to be irregular or zygomorphic. Zygomorphic flowers have bilateral symmetry. A flower that can be cut into two equal halves by at least one plane is symmetric flower; it may be bilaterally or radially symmetrical.
