The correct Answer is:
To determine the similarities between the flowers of Mustard (Brassicaceae family) and Makoi (Solanaceae family), we will analyze the given characteristics one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Number of Stamens**: - Mustard flowers have **6 stamens** (arranged as 2 shorter and 4 longer). - Makoi flowers have **5 stamens** (epipetallus, meaning they are fused with the petals). - **Conclusion**: The number of stamens is different between Mustard and Makoi. 2. **Number of Carpels**: - Mustard flowers exhibit a **bicarpillary condition**, meaning they have **2 carpels**. - Makoi flowers also have a **bicarpillary condition** with **2 carpels**. - **Conclusion**: The number of carpels is the same in both Mustard and Makoi. 3. **Placentation**: - In Mustard, the placentation is **parietal**, where ovules are attached to the sides of the ovary. - In Makoi, the placentation is **axile**, where ovules are attached in the center of the ovary. - **Conclusion**: The type of placentation is different between Mustard and Makoi. 4. **Superior Ovary**: - Both Mustard and Makoi have a **superior ovary**, meaning the ovary is positioned above the other floral parts (hypogynous flower). - **Conclusion**: Both plants exhibit a superior ovary. ### Final Answer: The flowers of Mustard resemble Makoi in: - II) Number of Carpels - IV) Superior ovary Thus, the correct answer is **C) II and IV**.
