NEETBotanyMorphology of Flowering Plants
Inflorescence Types Growth Patterns A. Racemose 1. Main axis terminates in a flower and is limited in growth B. Cymose 2. Main axis continues to grow and flowers are borne laterally C. Floral Axis 3. Arrangement of flowers on the axis D. Floral Meristem 4. Shoot apical meristem changes to floral meristem
Options
- AA - 1, B - 2, C - 3, D - 4
- BA - 2, B - 1, C - 4, D - 3
- CA - 1, B - 2, C - 4, D - 3
- DA - 2, B - 1, C - 3, D - 4
Correct answer
D. A - 2, B - 1, C - 3, D - 4
