The correct Answer is:
To determine the type of flower that can be divided into two equal halves by only one plane, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Flower Symmetry**: - Flowers can be classified based on their symmetry. The two main types are: - **Actinomorphic (Regular)**: Can be divided into two equal halves by multiple planes. - **Zygomorphic (Irregular)**: Can be divided into two equal halves by only one specific plane. 2. **Identifying the Correct Term**: - The question specifies that the flower can only be divided into two equal halves by one plane. This characteristic aligns with the definition of a **zygomorphic flower**. 3. **Eliminating Incorrect Options**: - **Actinomorphic**: This type allows division into equal halves by any plane, which does not meet the criteria given in the question. - **Perfect Flower**: This term refers to a flower that contains both male (androecium) and female (gynoecium) reproductive structures, but does not relate to symmetry. - **Regular Flower**: This is synonymous with actinomorphic and thus also does not fit the criteria. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the definitions and the characteristics of the flowers, the correct answer to the question is that a flower which can be divided into two equal halves by only one plane is called a **zygomorphic flower**. ### Final Answer: The flower which can be divided into two equal halves by only one plane is known as a **zygomorphic flower**. ---
