• Statement I is correct but statement II is incorrect.

• Statement I is incorrect but statement II is correct.

Answer 1

Statement I is incorrect but statement II is correct.

Explanation:

Actinomorphic symmetry is represented by the symbol ⊕, which indicates that the flower can be split into two equal halves in a single plane. Furthermore, a superior ovary is represented by the sign G (G with an underline). This shows that the ovary is situated on the receptacle above the calyx, corolla, and androecium, among other floral organs.
