Floral Diagrams & Formulas — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptThis can be illustrated through semi-technical descriptions of families. Hence, a flowering plant is described in a definite sequence by using scientific terms. The floral features are represented in the summarised form as floral diagrams and floral formula.
Arrange the following steps in the correct sequence for a semi-technical description of a typical flowering plant, as per NCERT guidelines: I. Description of the plant's habit II. Characterisation of vegetative parts (roots, stem, leaves) III. Detailing the inflorescence type IV. Describing the calyx and corolla V. Explaining androecium and gynoecium features VI. Constructing the floral diagram VII. Writing the floral formula
View solution & NCERT explanation
Correct answer: D — I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII
The semi-technical description of a flowering plant follows a specific sequence. As per NCERT, the description begins with the plant's habit, followed by vegetative characters (roots, stem, leaves). After that, floral characters are described, starting with the inflorescence, then individual flower parts (calyx, corolla, androecium, gynoecium). Finally, a floral diagram and floral formula are presented. Therefore, the correct sequence is: I. Description of the plant's habit II. Characterisation of vegetative parts (roots, stem, leaves) III. Detailing the inflorescence type IV. Describing the calyx and corolla V. Explaining androecium and gynoecium features VI. Constructing the floral diagram VII. Writing the floral formula Option D correctly lists all steps in the sequence prescribed by NCERT. Options B, C, and A present incorrect permutations of these steps, deviating from the prescribed order of describing vegetative, then floral, then diagrammatic/formulaic aspects.
