Answer 2

Both A and B are correct statements.

• During flowering, companion cells of the phloem tissue secrete florigen hormone that is essential for flowering. Florigen reaches the shoot apical meristem. After that, the apical meristem is converted into floral meristem by the expression of genes that are required for flowering.
• The four different cells of floral meristem form four parts of the flower namely calyx, corolla, stamen and pistil.
• As a flower is formed from shoot apical meristem, it's called the modified shoot. It is formed for a limited period as it is meant for reproduction only.
