The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the plant and its properties, we need to analyze each of the given statements about the plants and determine which one is incorrect. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Analyze the first plant - Cucumber - **Property 1:** Cucumber has stem tendrils derived from the axillary buds. - This statement is **correct**. Cucumber plants are known to have tendrils that help them climb, and these tendrils arise from the axillary buds. - **Property 2:** The margins of the thalamus grow upwards enclosing the ovary, indicating an inferior ovary. - This statement is also **correct**. In cucumbers, the ovary is indeed enclosed by the thalamus, which is characteristic of an epigynous flower. ### Step 2: Analyze the second plant - Rose - **Property 1:** The ovary is half inferior. - This statement is **correct**. In roses, the ovary is positioned in such a way that it is partially enclosed by the thalamus, making it half inferior (perigynous). - **Property 2:** The flower is polycarpillary, meaning it has multiple free carpels. - This statement is also **correct**. Roses do have multiple carpels that are free from each other. ### Step 3: Analyze the third plant - Lemon - **Property 1:** Stamens are polydelphous, meaning they are in multiple bundles. - This statement is **correct**. In lemons, the stamens are indeed arranged in bundles. - **Property 2:** The placenta is axial. - This statement is also **correct**. Lemons have an axial placenta, which is typical for many fruits. ### Step 4: Analyze the fourth plant - Castor - **Property 1:** The seed has only one cotyledon. - This statement is **incorrect**. Castor is classified as a dicot, which means it has two cotyledons, not one. - **Property 2:** The seed is endospermous. - This statement is **correct**. Castor seeds contain endosperm, which is a common feature in many seeds. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis, the incorrect statement is about the castor plant having only one cotyledon. Therefore, the answer to the question is: **The incorrect option is related to Castor, which states that it has only one cotyledon.**
