NEET · Biology · STD 11 - 5. Morphology flowering plants
In a cymose inflorescence the main axis
- A has unlimited growth
- B bears a solitary flower
- C has unlimited growth but lateral branches end in flowers
- D terminates in a flower.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) terminates in a flower.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(d) : Cymose inflorescence is also called definite or determinate inflorescence. Growth of the peduncle is definite. Here, the terminal bud is modified into a flower. Flowers develop in basipetal succession, \(i.e.\), mature flowers are towards the apex and young flower buds are towards the base. Flowers open in centrifugal sequence, \(i.e.\), flowers open from centre to the periphery of the inflorescence \(e.g.\), Solanum, Ranunculus, Datura, Gossypium, etc.
