What kind of phyllotaxy was examined in the Guava plant?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Opposite.

In guava plants, the arrangement of leaves on the stem is known as opposite superposed phyllotaxy. In this pattern, two leaves arise at each node, positioned directly above one another in a single plane. This arrangement is characteristic of guava and distinguishes it from other types of phyllotaxy, such as alternate or whorled patterns.
