The correct Answer is:
To answer the question about the ray florets of sunflower, we will analyze the options provided and determine the correct answer step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Structure of Sunflower Flowers**: - Sunflowers have a unique structure where the flowers are arranged in a composite head. The outer flowers are known as ray florets, while the inner ones are called disc florets. 2. **Identify the Type of Ovary**: - The question asks about the ovary type of ray florets specifically. In sunflowers, the ray florets are known to have an epigynous ovary. 3. **Define Epigynous Ovary**: - An epigynous ovary is one where the ovary is located below the other floral parts (petals, sepals, and stamens). This means that the thalamus (the thickened part of the stem) grows around the ovary, making it appear inferior. 4. **Analyze the Options**: - **Option A: Superior ovary** - This indicates a hypogynous condition where the ovary is above the other floral parts. This is incorrect for ray florets. - **Option B: Half inferior ovary** - This suggests a periginous condition where the ovary is at the same level as the other floral parts. This is also incorrect. - **Option C: Half superior ovary** - This is another form of periginous condition and is incorrect. - **Option D: Inferior ovary** - This is correct as it aligns with the epigynous condition of the ray florets in sunflowers. 5. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer to the question "The ray florets of sunflower has" is **inferior ovary**.
