Question

Carpels undergo torsion and are placed obliquely in

• A. Brassicaceae
• B. Solanaceae
• C. Asteraceae
• D. Liliaceae

Answer 1

The correct option is B Solanaceae

In Solanaceae, the carpels undergo torsion (twisting) and they are placed obliquely because the posterior carpels turn to the right and anterior carpels are turned to the left. The Solanaceae is an economically important family of flowering plants which includes many crops which are used as vegetables. Hence, carpels undergo torsion and are placed obliquely in Solanaceae.

So, the correct answer is 'Solanaceae'.
