The correct Answer is:
To answer the question about the distinct features of the Fabaceae family (also known as the legume or pea family), we can break down the characteristics step by step: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Inflorescence**: - The inflorescence of the Fabaceae family is typically racemose. This means that the flowers are arranged in a raceme, which is a type of flower cluster. 2. **Flower Structure**: - The flowers are complete and zygomorphic. Zygomorphic means that the flower can be divided into two symmetrical halves along one plane, indicating bilateral symmetry. 3. **Sexuality**: - The flowers are bisexual, meaning they contain both male (stamens) and female (carpels) reproductive parts. 4. **Ovary Position**: - The ovary is superior, which is referred to as hypogynous. This means that the ovary is positioned above the other floral parts. 5. **Calyx**: - The calyx consists of five sepals that are gamosepalous, meaning the sepals are fused together. The arrangement of the sepals can be either valvate or imbricate. 6. **Petals**: - The petals are polypetalous, meaning they are separate and not fused. The arrangement of the petals is vexillary, which is a unique arrangement where one petal (the standard) is larger and overlaps the others. 7. **Androsium**: - The androsium consists of 10 stamens that are united at the filament, which is referred to as diadelphous. This means that the stamens are grouped into two bundles. 8. **Gynosium**: - The gynosium is characterized by a single carpel, making it monocarpillary. The ovary is unilocular, meaning it has one chamber. 9. **Seed Type**: - The seeds produced are typically legume seeds, which are characteristic of the Fabaceae family. ### Conclusion: Based on the distinct features listed above, the correct options that describe the Fabaceae family are: - Zygomorphic (bilateral symmetry) - Diadelphous (10 stamens united at the filament) - Monocarpillary (single carpel) Thus, the answer is: **Zygomorphic, Diadelphous, and Monocarpillary.** ---
