The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the type of inflorescence where the main axis terminates in a flower and the flowers are borne in a specific succession, we can break down the solution into the following steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Type of Inflorescence**: - The question states that the main axis terminates in a flower, indicating that the growth of the main axis is limited. This characteristic is typical of **cymose inflorescence**. 2. **Understanding Cymose Inflorescence**: - In cymose inflorescence, the growing point of the main axis forms a flower. This means that as the flower develops, the main axis stops growing further. 3. **Determine the Succession of Flowers**: - The arrangement of flowers in cymose inflorescence can be either acropetal or basipetal. In **basipetal succession**, the oldest flowers are at the tip (the point of termination), and the younger flowers develop below them. 4. **Select the Correct Options**: - Given the options: - (i) Simoes (Cymose) - (ii) Basipetal - The correct answer is **cymose basipetal**. 5. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, the complete answer to the question is: In **cymose** type of inflorescence, the main axis terminates in a flower, hence is limited in growth, and flowers are borne in **basipetal** succession.
