Question

Study the following lists.

List-I	List-II
(A) Leaflets modified into spines	(I) Trillium
(B) Succulent leaves	(II) Yucca
(C) Whorled phyllotaxy	(III) Seilla
(D) Epiphyllous buds	(IV) Ulex
	(V) Colchicum

Identify the sequence of list II with respect to list I.

• A. A- (V), B- (III), C- (II), D- (IV)
• B. A- (IV), B- (II), C- (I), D- (III)
• C. A- (II), B- (I), C- (III), D- (IV)
• D. A- (II), B- (V), C- (III), D- (I)

Answer 1

The correct option is B A- (IV), B- (II), C- (I), D- (III)

Leaflets are modified into green spines in Ulex.

Succulent leaves store water in them. Leaves in Yucca are succulent.
Whorled phyllotaxy is when the leaves arise or appear to arise from the same level on a stem. Phyllotaxy is whorled in Trillium.
When the buds arise on the leaves, it is epiphyllous buds as in plant Seilla.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
