Question

Inflorescence is racemose in.
A. Tulip
B. Aloe
C. Soyabean
D. Brinjal

Answer 1

Hint: The apex of a plant produces several floral appendages at consecutive nodes. The layout of flowers on the floral axis is known as an inflorescence. Racemose is a kind of inflorescence in which the main axis continues to rise indefinitely and does not end in flowers.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Inflorescence is a sequence in which flowers are positioned on their stem or on plants. The inflorescence is of two kinds cymose and racemose. Cymose inflorescence, where the major axis ends into a flower and has limited growth. The flowers are to bear in a basipetal order. Examples are teak, aloe, tulip, Begonia, Dianthus, and Solanum (brinjal). Racemose is an inflorescence in which the axis of the inflorescence has unrestricted growth. Here flowers are positioned in an acropetal way which means that the older flowers are found at the base whereas younger ones are also present upward. The individual flowers may be pedunculated or sessile. In racemose inflorescence, the shoot axis keeps growing indefinitely and the flowers are borne in acropetal succession. Some of the examples of plants with racemose inflorescence are parsley, barley, wheat, Soyabean, Gulmohar, snapdragon, mustard, etc.
Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Note: In the raceme kind of inflorescence, the central axis is stretched, and thus flowers grow on a short stalk which is known as the pedicel. There is an unbranched central axis growing among the stem and branch of leaves in which these flowers develop.
