X is the outermost whorl of the flower and contains Y. Y is green, leaf like and protect the other whorls of the flower. Identify X and Y.
X - Calyx; Y - Sepals
X - Corolla; Y - Petals
X - Gynoecium; Y - Fruit
X - Androecium; Y - Ovary
Correct Answer :
A. X - Calyx; Y - Sepals
Calyx of the flower contains sepals which are green in colour and look like leaf and protect the other whorls of the flower. Corolla is present inside the calyx and made up of petals.
