Question

Which of the following character does not become apparent in floral formula?

• A. Placentation and aestivation
• B. Number of floral parts
• C. Whorls of floral parts
• D. Position of ovary

Answer 1

The correct option is A Placentation and aestivation

• A floral formula is a system of representing the structure of a flower using specific letters, numbers and symbols.
• The four major floral parts are always shown in the same order, sepals (K), petals (C), stamens (A), and carpels (G).
• The number of each part in the flower is indicated with a superscript number after the letters.
• The placentation and aestivation are not included under the main 4 parts of the floral formula but are represented in the floral diagram.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
