Question

The type of inflorescence in a plant showing polygamous condition and lateral styles is

• A. Compound umbel
• B. Compound head
• C. Compound raceme
• D. Compound corymb

Answer 1

The correct option is D Compound corymb

Umbel is a type of inflorescence in which the flowers have short pedicels and are connected to a common point on the inflorescence axis. Head is a type of inflorescence in which many flowers are grouped together to form a single flower-like structure. Raceme is a type of inflorescence in which the inflorescence axis never terminates in a flower. A corymb is a type of inflorescence in which the flowers are arranged in such a way that the outermost flowers have longer pedicels which bring all the flowers to a common height.

Thus, the correct answer is option D
