Question #3
In a cymose inflorescence, the growth of the main axis is:
A. Continuous and terminates in a flower
B. Limited, ending in a flower, with lateral branches continuing growth
C. Restricted to the base of the plant
D. Always forming a raceme

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
In cymose inflorescence, the main floral axis has limited growth and terminates in a flower. Subsequent flowers are produced by lateral branches, which also terminate in flowers, creating a sympodial growth pattern. This is in contrast to racemose inflorescence, where the main axis continues to grow indefinitely (monopodial) and flowers are arranged in an acropetal or basipetal order.
