The correct Answer is:
To determine how many plants have actinomorphic and how many have zygomorphic symmetry from the given list, we will analyze each plant based on their symmetry characteristics. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definitions**: - **Actinomorphic Symmetry**: Also known as radial symmetry, a flower is actinomorphic if it can be divided into two equal halves in any radial plane passing through the center. - **Zygomorphic Symmetry**: Also known as bilateral symmetry, a flower is zygomorphic if it can be divided into two equal halves only in one specific vertical plane. 2. **List of Plants**: The plants given are: Mustard, Datura, Chilli, Pea, Gulmohar, Bean, Cassia, and Canna. 3. **Identify Actinomorphic Plants**: - **Mustard**: Actinomorphic - **Datura**: Actinomorphic - **Chilli**: Actinomorphic - **Canna**: Actinomorphic **Total Actinomorphic Plants**: 4 (Mustard, Datura, Chilli, Canna) 4. **Identify Zygomorphic Plants**: - **Pea**: Zygomorphic - **Gulmohar**: Zygomorphic - **Bean**: Zygomorphic - **Cassia**: Zygomorphic **Total Zygomorphic Plants**: 4 (Pea, Gulmohar, Bean, Cassia) 5. **Conclusion**: - **Total Actinomorphic Plants**: 4 - **Total Zygomorphic Plants**: 4 ### Final Answer: - Actinomorphic: 4 - Zygomorphic: 4 ---
