The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "When petals are green, the term used is:", we need to analyze the options provided and understand the terminology related to flower morphology. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Flower Parts**: - Flowers consist of various parts, primarily petals and sepals. - Petals are typically colorful and attract pollinators, while sepals are usually green and protect the flower bud. 2. **Identifying the Condition**: - The question specifies a condition where petals are green. This is not typical, as petals are usually brightly colored. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Petaloid**: This term refers to structures that resemble petals but are not true petals. It does not apply here since we are discussing green petals. - **Sepaloid**: This term refers to petals that resemble sepals. Since the petals are green, they are taking on characteristics of sepals. - **Coralloid**: This term is not relevant to petals or sepals; it refers to a type of root structure in certain plants. - **Haploid**: This term relates to the number of chromosomes and does not pertain to flower morphology. 4. **Conclusion**: - Given that the petals are green and resemble sepals, the correct term to describe this condition is **sepaloid**. ### Final Answer: When petals are green, the term used is **sepaloid**. ---
