The correct Answer is:
To determine the characters found in cucumber from the given options, we will analyze each option one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate Stem Tendrils (I)**: - Cucumber plants are known for their climbing ability, which is facilitated by stem tendrils. These tendrils are modifications of the stem that help the plant to cling to supports. Therefore, **Cucumber does have stem tendrils**. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. 2. **Evaluate Epigynous Flower (II)**: - An epigynous flower has an inferior ovary, meaning that the ovary is located below the other floral parts (sepals, petals, and stamens). Cucumber flowers are indeed epigynous, as the ovary is enclosed by the thalamus. Thus, **Cucumber has epigynous flowers**. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. 3. **Evaluate Pepo (III)**: - Pepo is a type of fleshy fruit that is characteristic of the Cucurbitaceae family, which includes cucumbers. It is defined by having a thick rind and many seeds without internal divisions (locules). Therefore, **Cucumber produces pepo fruits**. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. 4. **Evaluate Trilocular Ovary (IV)**: - A trilocular ovary means that the ovary has three chambers. However, the ovary of the cucumber is not trilocular; it is typically unilocular with multiple ovules. Therefore, **Cucumber does not have a trilocular ovary**. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect**. ### Final Summary: Based on the analysis: - I) Stem tendrils - **Correct** - II) Epigynous flower - **Correct** - III) Pepo - **Correct** - IV) Trilocular ovary - **Incorrect** Thus, the correct characteristics found in cucumber are **I, II, and III**.
