Identify the wrong statement
(a) A plant that bears male, female and bisexual flowers is polygamous
(b) Actinomorphic flower can be dissected into two equal halves from any plane
(c) Superior ovary is found in hypogynous flower
(d) Side of the flower towards the bract is called posterior side

Options

A. A plant that bears male, female and bisexual flowers is polygyamous
B. Actinomorphie flower can be dissected into two equal halves from any plane
C. Superior overy is found in hypogynous flower
D. Side of the flower towards the bract is called posterior side. (E.A.M.C.E.T. 2005)

Answer

To identify the wrong statement among the given options, let's analyze each statement one by one:

1. **Statement (a)**: "A plant that bears male, female, and bisexual flowers is polygamous."
- This statement is correct. A plant that has male (staminate), female (pistillate), and bisexual (perfect) flowers is indeed referred to as polygamous. This type of plant can also be described as "trimonocious."

2. **Statement (b)**: "Actinomorphic flower can be dissected into two equal halves from any plane."
- This statement is also correct. Actinomorphic flowers, also known as regular flowers, exhibit symmetry and can be divided into two equal halves along multiple planes.

3. **Statement (c)**: "Superior ovary is found in hypogynous flower."
- This statement is correct as well. In hypogynous flowers, the ovary is positioned above other floral parts (like petals and sepals), making it a superior ovary.

4. **Statement (d)**: "Side of the flower towards the bract is called posterior side."
- This statement is incorrect. The side of the flower that faces the bract is actually referred to as the anterior side, not the posterior side.

Based on the analysis, the wrong statement is:
**(d) Side of the flower towards the bract is called posterior side.**
