Which one of the following statements is correct?

1. In tomato, fruit is a capsule
2. Seeds of orchids have oil-rich endosperm
3. Placentation in primose is basal
4. Flower of tulip is a modified shoot

Correct answer: Flower of tulip is a modified shoot

Solution

A flower is a modified shoot because it arises from a shoot apical meristem and has condensed stem tissue with specialized floral organs. The other statements are incorrect: tomato has a berry, orchid seeds are generally non-endospermic, and primrose has free-central placentation, not basal.
