Question

Match the following: 

List-I	List-II
A. Thalamiflorae	I. 3 cohorts
B. Disciflorae	II. 5 cohorts
C. Calyciflorae	III. 4 cohorts
D. Heteromere	IV. 6 cohorts

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

Hint:

Bentham and Hooker's classification frequently appears in competitive examinations. Learn the floral cohort associations carefully.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept: Bentham and Hooker classified flowering plants based on floral characteristics. Terms such as Thalamiflorae, Disciflorae and Calyciflorae are important categories in this system.

Step 1: Identify Thalamiflorae. Flowers possess six floral cohorts. Therefore: \[ A \rightarrow IV \]

Step 2: Identify Disciflorae. Disciflorae generally possess four floral cohorts. Therefore: \[ B \rightarrow III \]

Step 3: Identify Calyciflorae. Calyciflorae commonly exhibit five floral cohorts. Therefore: \[ C \rightarrow II \]

Step 4: Identify Heteromere. Heteromerous flowers generally possess three cohorts. Therefore: \[ D \rightarrow I \]

Step 5: Final matching. \[ A-IV,\; B-III,\; C-II,\; D-I \] Hence option (D) is correct.
