NEET · Biology · STD 11 - 5. Morphology flowering plants
In racemose inflorescence, __________ .
- A the main axis terminates in a flower
- B flowers are solitary
- C the growth is limited
- D flowers are borne in an acropetal succession
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) flowers are borne in an acropetal succession
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(D) flowers are borne in an acropetal succession
In racemose inflorescence, the main axis continues to grow indefinitely and does not terminate in a flower. The flowers are borne laterally in an acropetal succession, meaning the older flowers are at the base and the younger flowers or buds are at the apex.
In cymose inflorescence, the main axis terminates in a flower, hence its growth is limited, and the flowers are borne in a basipetal order.
