The partial floral formula of a flower is K(5)​C(5)​ A(∞)​ G​(5)​. Which of the following set of information is coveyed here?

Filo · Accepted Answer

A floral formula is a means to represent the structure of a flower using numbers, letters and various symbols. The floral formula is partial because there are certain details about the sexuality and the type of symmetry of the flower is not mentioned. There are 5 sepals in the calyx which are fused together. When the sepals are fused together, the condition is known as gamosepalous. There are 5 petals in the corolla which are fused at the base. The condition is known as gamopetalous. This gives the flower shape of a tube or funnel. There are many stamens that are denoted by the infinity sign. The ovary contains five carpels. The carpels are fused and are known as syncarpous. The ovary is superior. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
