The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Which of the following is not a characteristic feature of Fabaceae?", we will analyze each option provided and determine if it is a characteristic of the Fabaceae family. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding Fabaceae Family**: - The Fabaceae family, also known as the legume, pea, or bean family, includes plants that typically have specific floral and fruit characteristics. 2. **Analyzing the First Option**: - **Corolla has five petals**: This is correct. Flowers in the Fabaceae family usually have five petals. 3. **Analyzing the Second Option**: - **Gammopetalus**: This term means that the petals are fused together. In Fabaceae, the petals are actually polypetalus (separate) and often have a butterfly-like shape (papilionaceous). Thus, this statement is incorrect. 4. **Analyzing the Third Option**: - **Zygomorphic flowers**: This is correct. Fabaceae flowers are zygomorphic, meaning they have one plane of symmetry. 5. **Analyzing the Fourth Option**: - **Didelpha stamens**: This refers to the arrangement of stamens in groups of two. This is also a characteristic of Fabaceae, so it is correct. 6. **Analyzing the Fifth Option**: - **Many ovules**: This is correct as well. Fabaceae typically have many ovules. 7. **Analyzing the Sixth Option**: - **Sepals five**: This is correct. Fabaceae flowers usually have five sepals. 8. **Analyzing the Seventh Option**: - **Gamosepless**: This means the sepals are fused. In Fabaceae, the sepals are typically separate, so this is incorrect. 9. **Analyzing the Eighth Option**: - **Monocarpillary**: This means there is one carpel present, which is correct for many Fabaceae. 10. **Analyzing the Ninth Option**: - **Ovary is superior**: This is also correct for Fabaceae. 11. **Analyzing the Tenth Option**: - **Seed is non-endospermic**: This is correct. Fabaceae seeds do not have endosperm in the mature seed. ### Conclusion: The characteristic that is not true for Fabaceae is **Gammopetalus** (the petals are not fused). Therefore, the correct answer is the second option.
