NEET 2026, Biology Q31: The Flower

NEET2026Biology
Q.

In racemose inflorescence, _________.

  1. A

    The main axis terminates in a flower

  2. B

    Flowers are solitary

  3. C

    The growth is limited

  4. D

    Flowers are borne in an acropetal succession

Solution

In a racemose inflorescence, the main axis keeps growing and the flowers are borne laterally in acropetal succession (younger flowers at the top). A cymose inflorescence, in contrast, has a main axis that terminates in a flower, restricting further growth.
