Which of the following is not correctly matched?

a
Menstrual cycle- apes, monkeys
b
Oestrous cycle- Cows, rats
c
Strobilanthus kunthiana- Polycarpic plant
d
Bamboo-Monocarpic plant

detailed solution

Correct option is C

A few plants exhibit unusual flowering phenomenon; some of them such as bamboo species flower only once in their life time, generally after 50-100 years, produce large number of fruits and die. Another plant, Strobilanthus kunthiana (neelakuranji), flowers once in 12 years. After flowering it produces fruits and dies. Therefore it is a monocarpic plant.In non-primate mammals like cows, sheep, rats, deers, dogs, tiger, etc., such cyclical changes during reproduction are called oestrus cycle where as in primates (monkeys, apes, and humans) it is called menstrual cycle.
