The main axis culminates in a flower and produces three or more daughter axis each of which continues the branching in similar manner is know as:
Correct answer: C. Multiparous cyme
- A. Uniparous cyme
- B. Biparous cyme
- C. Multiparous cyme
- D. Cymose capitulum
Explanation
The correct answer is multiparous cyme. In this type, the main axis culminates in a flower and branches into three or more daughter axes, each of which can further branch in a similar manner. This is distinct from the uniparous cyme, which branches with only one daughter axis, and the biparous cyme, which branches with two. The cymose capitulum, on the other hand, is a different inflorescence type where the main axis is short and ends in a cluster of flowers, not characterized by branching.
