MCQ
In a cymose inflorescence the main axis
  • A
    has unlimited growth
  • B
    bears a solitary flower
  • C
    has unlimited growth but lateral branches end in flowers
  • terminates in a flower.

Answer

Correct option: D.
terminates in a flower.
d
(d) : Cymose inflorescence is also called definite or determinate inflorescence. Growth of the peduncle is definite. Here, the terminal bud is modified into a flower. Flowers develop in basipetal succession, $i.e.$, mature flowers are towards the apex and young flower buds are towards the base. Flowers open in centrifugal sequence, $i.e.$, flowers open from centre to the periphery of the inflorescence $e.g.$, Solanum, Ranunculus, Datura, Gossypium, etc.
