The correct Answer is:
To determine how many of the listed properties are seen in the brinjal plant, we will analyze each characteristic one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Legume Fruits**: - Brinjal (Solanum melongena) belongs to the Solanaceae family, which is known for producing berries, not legumes. Legume fruits are characteristic of the Fabaceae family (pea family). - **Conclusion**: This property is **not** seen in brinjal. 2. **Alternate Phyllotaxy**: - Phyllotaxy refers to the arrangement of leaves on a stem. In brinjal, the leaves are arranged alternately along the stem. - **Conclusion**: This property **is** seen in brinjal. 3. **Actinomorphic Flower**: - Actinomorphic flowers are symmetrical and can be divided into two equal halves through multiple planes. Brinjal flowers exhibit this property. - **Conclusion**: This property **is** seen in brinjal. 4. **Bicarpellary Syncarpous Gynoecium**: - A bicarpellary syncarpous gynoecium means that the flower has two carpels that are fused together. Brinjal flowers have this structure. - **Conclusion**: This property **is** seen in brinjal. 5. **Non-Endospermic Seeds**: - Non-endospermic seeds are those in which the endosperm is fully consumed by the developing embryo. Brinjal seeds are classified as non-endospermic. - **Conclusion**: This property **is** seen in brinjal. ### Summary of Findings: - Legume Fruits: No - Alternate Phyllotaxy: Yes - Actinomorphic Flower: Yes - Bicarpellary Syncarpous Gynoecium: Yes - Non-Endospermic Seeds: Yes ### Final Count: Out of the five properties listed, four are characteristics of the brinjal plant. ### Answer: The correct answer is **4**. ---
