The correct Answer is:
To identify the mismatched pair from the given options, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Terms - **Apocarpus Gynaeceum**: This refers to a type of gynoecium where the carpels are free and not fused. It typically has a single line of placentation. - **False Fruit**: This is a fruit that develops from parts of the flower other than the ovary, such as the thalamus. Examples include apple, cashew, and strawberry. - **Zygomorphic Flowers**: These are flowers that are bilaterally symmetrical, meaning they can be divided into two mirror-image halves. Examples include P. gulmohar, P. bean, and P. casia. - **Scyanthium Inflorescence**: This is a type of inflorescence that appears like a flower but is made up of bracts and does not produce true flowers from ovules or ovaries. ### Step 2: Analyze Each Option 1. **Apocarpus Gynaeceum**: The explanation provided is correct. It has a single line of placentation and examples given are valid. 2. **False Fruit**: The definition given is accurate. It includes parts of the flower other than the ovary. 3. **Zygomorphic Flowers**: The description is correct. The examples provided are indeed zygomorphic. 4. **Scyanthium Inflorescence**: The explanation states that it produces false flowers and does not produce male, female, or gall flowers. This is where the mismatch occurs. ### Step 3: Identify the Mismatched Pair - The fourth option regarding Scyanthium inflorescence is incorrect because it states that male, female, and gall flowers are called morganthia, which is not true in the context of Scyanthium. ### Conclusion The mismatched pair is the fourth option regarding Scyanthium inflorescence. ---
