Question

In a raceme, the flower arrangement is?

• A. Basipetal
• B. Centripetal
• C. Centrifugal
• D. Acropetal

Answer 1

The correct option is D Acropetal

• In a raceme the peduncle has bisexual and pedicellate flowers arranged acropetally. Example: Radish. It is a type of racemose inflorescence, in which the shoot axis continue to grow indefinitely and the flowers are borne in an acropetal succession that is, younger flowers are present towards the apex and the older flowers are present at the base.
• Basipetal has seen in cymose inflorescence in which the main axis terminates into a flower and has limited growth.

So, the correct answer is 'Acropetal'.
