Question
hich of the following statements is correct w.r.t. vexillary aestivation? Largest petals are wingsSmallest petals are found posteriorlyWings are smallest petalsAnterior petals are keel
Solution 1
The correct statement with respect to vexillary aestivation is "Largest petals are found posteriorly".
In vexillary aestivation, the arrangement of petals in a flower bud is such that the largest petal, also known as the standard or vexillum, is found in the posterior position, i.e., towards the back. This petal often serves to attract pollinators. The two lateral petals, known as the wings or alae, are next in size. The two smallest petals are anterior and are usually fused together to form the keel or carina, which encloses the reproductive parts of the flower.
Solution 2
The correct statement with respect to vexillary aestivation is "Largest petals are found posteriorly".
In vexillary aestivation, the arrangement of petals in a flower bud is such that the largest petal, also known as the standard or vexillum, is found in the posterior position (towards the back). This petal often serves to attract pollinators. The two lateral petals, known as the wings or alae, are next in size and are on either side. The two smallest petals are anterior (towards the front) and are usually fused together to form the keel or carina, which protects the reproductive parts of the flower.
