The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Select the correct statement," we will evaluate each provided statement one by one to determine which one is accurate. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate the First Statement:** - The first statement claims that "the filaments of the anther in pea plant fuse together to form a single bundle and this is called monoadulphous condition." - In pea plants, the condition is actually diadulphous, where the filaments of the anthers are fused into two bundles, not one. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. 2. **Evaluate the Second Statement:** - The second statement states, "Generally dicot seeds are endospermic but some lycaster are non-endospermic." - In reality, castor (likely what "lycaster" refers to) is an example of an endospermic seed. Therefore, this statement is also **incorrect**. 3. **Evaluate the Third Statement:** - The third statement mentions, "When a flower can be divided into two similar halves only in one particular vertical plane, it is called actinomorphic." - This is incorrect because a flower that can be divided into two similar halves in multiple planes is called actinomorphic. The correct term for a flower that can only be divided in one plane is "zygomorphic." Thus, this statement is **incorrect**. 4. **Evaluate the Fourth Statement:** - The fourth statement says, "In mango and coconut, fruit develops from the monocarpillary superior ovary." - This statement is correct. Both mango and coconut fruits develop from a single (monocarpillary) superior ovary. Therefore, this statement is **correct**. ### Final Answer: The correct statement is: **"In mango and coconut, fruit develops from the monocarpillary superior ovary."** ---
