The correct Answer is:
To solve the question about the incorrectly described part of the Makoi plant, we will analyze each option based on the characteristics of the Solanaceae family. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Family**: The Makoi plant belongs to the Solanaceae family. Understanding the general characteristics of this family is crucial. 2. **Examine the Leaves**: - The leaves of the Solanaceae family are described as: - Alternate in arrangement - Simple (no leaflets) - Ex-stipulate (absence of stipules) - Reticulate venation (having a network-like pattern) - This description is correct. 3. **Examine the Corolla**: - The corolla (petals) of the Solanaceae family is characterized by: - Typically 5 petals - Gamopetalous (petals are fused together) - Velvet aestivation (margins of petals are connected side by side) - This description is also correct. 4. **Examine the Gynoecium**: - The gynoecium in the Solanaceae family is characterized by: - Bicarpillary (two carpels) - Syncarpous (carpels are fused) - Bilocular (two locules) - Superior ovary (ovary is above the other floral parts) - This description is correct as well. 5. **Examine the Seeds in the Fruit**: - The statement regarding seeds is: - "Many seeds in the fruit without endosperm." - This statement is incorrect because: - The fruits of the Solanaceae family typically contain few seeds or sometimes a single seed, and they do have cellular endosperm. 6. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the incorrect description is found in the statement regarding the seeds. Therefore, the answer is option **d**: "Many seeds in the fruit without endosperm." ### Final Answer: **Option d is the incorrectly described part of the Makoi plant.** ---
