Question

Gynoecium having three fused carpels with a single ovule containing chamber is ________.

• A. Tricarpellary, syncarpous, unilocular
• B. Tricarpellary, polycarpellary, unilocular
• C. Tricarpellary, syncarpous, trilocular
• D. Tricarpellary, polycarpellary, trilocular

Answer 1

The correct option is A Tricarpellary, syncarpous, unilocular

Gynoecium having three carpels is called tricarpellary. When these carpels are fused, it is called syncarpous. When there is single ovule in the chamber it is called unilocular.

Polycarpellary means more than five carpels in gynoecium.

Trilocular means having three locules in the ovary.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Tricarpellary, syncarpous, unilocular'
