Question

In __(i)___ type inflorescence, main axis terminates in a flower, hence is limited in growth and flowers are borne in__(ii)__ succession.

• A. (i) - racemose, (ii) - acropetal
• B. (i) - racemose, (ii) - basipetal
  
• C. (i) - cymose, (ii) - acropetal
  
• D. (i) - cymose, (ii) - basipetal

Answer 1

The correct option is D (i) - cymose, (ii) - basipetal

In cymose inflorescence, the growing point always forms a flower i.e., the main axis is terminated. The arrangement of flowers is basipetal which is having the oldest one at the tip and the younger one away from it.

So,the correct answer is " (i) - cymose, (ii)- basipetal ".
