Solution

Inflorescence:

  1. A flower is a modified shoot in which the apical meristem of the shoot transforms into the floral meristem.
  2. The arrangement of the flower on the floral axis is termed Inflorescence.
  3. Racemose and cymose are the two main forms of inflorescences.
  4. The primary axis of racemose inflorescences continues to grow, but the flowers are carried laterally in acropetal succession.
  5. The primary axis of a cymose inflorescence terminates in a flower, limiting its expansion.
  6. The flowers grow in a basipetal order.
