Question
Given below are four statement (a-d) regardinginflorescence of angiospermic planta) In racemose type of inflorescences the main axiscontinues to grow.b) In cymose type of inflorescence the main axisterminates in a flower.c) In cymose type of inflorescence the flowers areborne in a acropetal successiond) In racemose type of inflorescences the flowerborne in an basipetal successionWhich of the statements are correct(1) (a) (b) and (d) (2) (a) (b) and (c)(3) (a) and (b) (4) (a) and (d)
Solution
The correct statements are (a), (b), and (c). Therefore, the answer is (2) (a), (b), and (c).
Here's why:
a) In racemose type of inflorescences the main axis continues to grow. This is correct. In racemose inflorescence, the main axis continues to grow and does not terminate in a flower.
b) In cymose type of inflorescence the main axis terminates in a flower. This is also correct. In cymose inflorescence, the main axis terminates in a flower and does not continue to grow.
c) In cymose type of inflorescence the flowers are borne in a acropetal succession. This is correct. In cymose inflorescence, the flowers bloom in an acropetal succession, which means the oldest flowers are at the top and the youngest are at the bottom.
d) In racemose type of inflorescences the flower borne in an basipetal succession. This is incorrect. In racemose inflorescence, the flowers bloom in an acropetal succession, not basipetal. The youngest flowers are at the top and the oldest are at the bottom.
