Question

The position of ovary is below sepals, petals and stamens. The flower is_______
A. Epigynous
B. Perigynous
C. Mesogynous
D. Metagynous

Answer 1

Hint: The position of the ovary with the other parts of the flower represents three different conditions. The three conditions are epigynous, perigynous, and hypogynous.

Step by step answer:
In option A, epigynous is mentioned. In epigynous flowers, the hypanthium is fused with the gynoecium. The free parts of the sepals, petals, and stamens look like they are attached to the top of the gynoecium. This type of formation is seen in apples. The ovary is inferior and the rest of the reproductive organs of the plant, petals, sepals, and stamens look like arising from the top of the ovary.
In option B, perigynous is mentioned. In perigynous flowers, a hypanthium is attached to the receptacle present below the gynoecium. It surrounds the ovary. In these kinds of flowers, the ovaries are superior and the free parts of the sepals, petals, and stamens are joined to the rim of the hypanthium.
In option C, mesogynous is mentioned. It is a type of stomatal opening.
In option D, metagynous is mentioned. It is an organism having ovaries only in segment thirteenth or the homoeotic segment.
So, the correct option is option A

Note: The hypanthium is a floral tube generated by the fusion of the stamens, petals, and sepals of a flower. The gynoecium is another name for the female reproductive part of the flower. Examples of epigynous flowers include daffodil, orchids, melon, squash, and Fuchsia.
