The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states: "Flowers are arranged in acropetal manner in cymose inflorescence." - **Understanding Acropetal Manner**: In an acropetal arrangement, the younger flowers are at the top (or apex) and older flowers are at the bottom. This type of arrangement is typically seen in racemose inflorescence. - **Understanding Cymose Inflorescence**: In cymose inflorescence, the growth terminates in a flower, and the arrangement of flowers is generally such that the older flowers are at the base and the younger flowers are at the top. **Conclusion for Assertion**: The assertion is **false** because cymose inflorescence does not exhibit acropetal arrangement; it follows a basipetal or bicipital pattern. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states: "All flowers are at the same level in cymose inflorescence." - **Understanding Flower Arrangement in Cymose Inflorescence**: In cymose inflorescence, flowers do not necessarily grow at the same level. Instead, they can be arranged in a way where older flowers are at the base and younger flowers are at the apex. This means that not all flowers are at the same level. **Conclusion for Reason**: The reason is also **false** because in cymose inflorescence, flowers do not grow at the same level; they follow a specific arrangement where older flowers are lower than younger ones. ### Final Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are false. Therefore, the correct answer is that both statements are incorrect. ---
