Question

Pentamerous actinomorphic flowers, bicarpellary ovary with oblique septum and a fruit capsule or berry, belong to family

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

Answer 1

The correct option is D Solanaceae

Solanaceae or nightshade is an economically important family of flowering plants. In Solanaceae, the flowers are actinomorphic (radial symmetry), pentamerous (parts of the flower are arranged in sets of 5). The gynoecium is bicarpellary, the syncarpous, ovary is obliquely placed (having a sloping direction). Fruit is a capsule (dry fruit which splits open to release the seeds) or berry (small, pulpy and often it is an edible fruit).

So, the correct answer is 'Solanaceae'.
