The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the correct statement about the Solanaceae family, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Gynosium**: - The Gynosium of the Solanaceae family is characterized by having two carpels. This condition is referred to as **Bicarpellary**. - These two carpels are fused together, which is termed as **Syncarpus**. **Hint**: Remember that "bicarpellary" indicates two carpels, and "syncarpus" means they are fused. 2. **Identifying the Ovary Type**: - The ovary in the Solanaceae family is classified as **superior**. This means that the ovary is positioned above the other floral parts such as sepals, petals, and stamens. **Hint**: "Superior ovary" means the ovary is located above the other floral structures. 3. **Locule and Placentation**: - The Solanaceae family typically has a **bilocular** condition, which means there are two locules (chambers) in the ovary. However, due to the presence of a septum, this bilocular condition can be interpreted as **multilocular** because it can contain multiple ovules. **Hint**: "Bilocular" refers to two chambers, but with a septum, it can also imply multiple ovules. 4. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option 1**: Bicarpellary, Syncarpus, Inferior ovary, and Bilocular condition – **Incorrect** (Inferior ovary is wrong). - **Option 2**: Bicarpellary, Apocarpus, Superior ovary with bilocular condition – **Incorrect** (Apocarpus is wrong). - **Option 3**: Multicarpellary, Syncarpus, Inferior ovary with bilocular condition – **Incorrect** (Inferior ovary is wrong). - **Option 4**: Multicarpellary, Syncarpus, Superior ovary with bilocular condition – **Correct** (All parts are accurate). **Hint**: Carefully check each term in the options against the characteristics of the Solanaceae family. ### Final Answer: The correct statement about the Solanaceae family is **Option 4: Multicarpellary, Syncarpus, Superior ovary with bilocular condition**.
