Consider the following statements.


(i) In Gynandropsis, Passiflora, etc. thalamus is elongated and shows well developed nodes and internodes.
(ii) The floral buds in Agave, Allium, etc. may sometimes get modified into vegetative buds or bulbils.
(iii) Sepals are concerned with protection of flowers in bud condition and petals help to attract insects for pollination.
(iv) Stamens and carpels serve as the male and female reproductive organs respectively.

Which of the following combinations of above statements provides an evidence that flower is a modified shoot?

  1. (i) and (ii)

  2. (ii) and (iii)

  3. (iii) and (iv)

  4. (i) and (iv)
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The elongation of the thalamus (nodes and internodes) and the modification of floral buds into vegetative structures (bulbils) are classic evidences supporting the theory that a flower is a modified shoot.
