Question

• A. false ovule
• B. false placenta
• C. false septum
• D. false thalamus

Answer 1

The correct option is C

false septum

The correct option is C

Explanation of the correct option:

1. The thin membrane known as a septum will act as a wall to divide the two chambers.
2. Therefore, a fake septum will appear somewhat different; it will resemble a septum but will only border the micropyles of the ovules inside the carpel.
3. Replum is another name for it. It can be found in mustard.
4. The ovary becomes bicular due to replum.

Explanation of the incorrect option:

Option A:

1. The eggs of the female gametophytes are called ovules.
2. It eventually becomes a fruit seed. An ovary contains a single ovule.

Option B:

1. Mammals that give birth to young typically have a placenta, which connects the foetus to the mother's body.
2. Similar to this, the placenta binds the ovules to the ovary in flowering plants. It is situated below the margin. This will make it easier for the embryo to get nutrition.

Option D:

1. The thicker area at the stem's base known as the thalamus is where flowers develop. It has a changed stem.
2. It gives the flowers nutrition.

Final answer: Replum is a false septum.
