Question

Censer mechanism is the seed dispersal characteristic of which of the following?

• A. Poaceae
• B. Malvaceae
• C. Papilionaceae
• D. Both (B) and (C)

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both (B) and (C)

The censor mechanism is seen in Malvaceae and in Papilionaceae in these
varieties there is either a capsule, legume or a follicle containing the
seeds. the capsular seed container is common in Malvaceae and the
legume like seed container is seen in Papilionaceae. Though these split
or open up the force is too little to disperse or allow the scattering of seeds. Zoochory involving beetles and ants is seen in the seed dispersal of Liliaceae.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
