Q.
In an inflorescence where flowers are borne laterally in
an acropetal succession, the position of the youngest floral bud shall be
Solution:
the flowers are the modified shoot in which the shoot apical meristem is converted to the floral meristem. Internodes don't elongate and therefore the axis gets condensed. The apex produces different
kinds of floral appendages laterally at successive nodes rather than leaves. if the shoot tip transforms into the flower, then it will be always solitary. The arrangement of the flowers on the floral axis is refereed as inflorescence. Depending
on the fact that if the apex gets converted into the flower or continues to grow, two major sorts of inflorescences are defined – racemose and cymose. In the racemose type of inflorescences the main axis keep growing , the flowers are borne laterally in an acropetal succession In cymose sort of inflorescence the main axis terminates in a flower, hence is restricted in growth.The flowers are borne in an exceedingly basipetal order
