The correct Answer is:
To find the false statement from the provided options, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (i)**: "Calyx and corolla are reproductive organs of a flower." - **Analysis**: This statement is false. The calyx (sepals) and corolla (petals) are non-reproductive parts of a flower. The reproductive organs are the stamen (male) and carpel/pistil (female). 2. **Statement (ii)**: "Zygomorphic flower can be divided into two equal radial halves in any radial plane." - **Analysis**: This statement is false. A zygomorphic flower (bilaterally symmetrical) can only be divided into two equal halves in one specific plane, not any radial plane. 3. **Statement (iii)**: "Flowers without bracts are termed as bracteate." - **Analysis**: This statement is false. Flowers without bracts are termed as ebracteate, not bracteate. 4. **Statement (iv)**: "Parthenocarpic fruit is formed after fertilization of the ovary." - **Analysis**: This statement is false. Parthenocarpic fruits develop without fertilization of the ovary. 5. **Statement (v)**: "In legumes, seed is non-endospermic." - **Analysis**: This statement is true. Leguminous seeds are typically non-endospermic, meaning they do not have a significant amount of endosperm. 6. **Statement (vi)**: "Ovary is inferior in Fabaceae." - **Analysis**: This statement is false. In the Fabaceae family, the ovary is usually superior. 7. **Statement (vii)**: "A fertile stamen is called staminode." - **Analysis**: This statement is false. A staminode is a sterile stamen, not a fertile one. 8. **Statement (viii)**: "Radical buds develop on roots." - **Analysis**: This statement is true. Radical buds can develop on roots. ### Summary of False Statements: From the analysis, the false statements are: - (i) Calyx and corolla are reproductive organs of a flower. - (ii) Zygomorphic flower can be divided into two equal radial halves in any radial plane. - (iii) Flowers without bracts are termed as bracteate. - (iv) Parthenocarpic fruit is formed after fertilization of the ovary. - (vi) Ovary is inferior in Fabaceae. - (vii) A fertile stamen is called staminode. ### Conclusion: The false statements are (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (vi), and (vii).
