I got this question in unit test.

I'd like to ask this question from Flower-1 in portion Morphology of Flowering Plants of Biology – Class 11

Answer 1

Right answer is (d) Tulip is an example of polypetalous

To explain I would say: A flower has 4 whorls arranged successively i.e. calyx, corolla, androecium and gynoecium. Members of calyx and corolla are called as sepals and petals respectively. In polysepalous, the sepals are arranged in a free manner whereas in gamosepalous, the sepals are united. Tulip is an example of gamopetalus.
