The correct Answer is:
To answer the question, we need to fill in the blanks regarding two types of inflorescence: one where the main axis continues to grow and one where it terminates in a flower. 1. **Identify the two types of inflorescence**: The two types of inflorescence we are discussing are racemos and cymos. 2. **Define racemos inflorescence**: In racemos inflorescence, the main axis continues to grow indefinitely. This means that the flowers are borne along the sides of the main stem, and the growth does not stop at the flowering point. 3. **Define cymos inflorescence**: In cymos inflorescence, the main axis terminates in a flower. This means that the growth of the main stem is limited because it ends with the formation of a flower. 4. **Fill in the blanks**: - For (a), we write "racemos" because it describes the inflorescence where the main axis continues to grow. - For (b), we write "cymos" because it describes the inflorescence where the main axis terminates in a flower. Thus, the completed statement is: In (a) **racemos** inflorescence the main axis continues to grow whereas in (b) **cymos** inflorescence the main axis terminates in a flower.
