Question

Name the family in which sepals and petals are not differentiated.

• A. Poaceae and Asteraceae
• B. Liliaceae and Solanaceae
• C. Poaceae and Liliaceae
• D. Asteraceae and Solanaceae

Answer 1

The correct option is C Poaceae and Liliaceae

Poaceae or Gramineae is a large family of monocot flowering plants, commonly referred to as grass. Liliaceae or Lily family consists of many species of flowering plants that are monocots, herbaceous, perennial plants. In both Poaceae and Liliaceae, the sepals and petals are not differentiated and perianth is present. The perianth is the outer part of the flower, consisting of the calyx (sepals) and corolla (petals) which are undifferentiated.

So, the correct answer is 'Poaceae and Liliaceae'.
