Answer 1

Answer:

(a) In the racemose type of inflorescence, the youngest flower is borne near the apex and the oldest is borne at the base of the inflorescence. This is called the acropetal order. Basipetal order is seen in the cymose inflorescence.

(b) Rose belongs to the family wherein, the ovary is superior and present in a hypanthium, so the flowers in rose plants are hypogynous.

(c) Brinjal belongs to the family Solanaceae. It has hypogynous flowers as the ovary is superior.

Hence, the correct answer is 'A and B are false but C is true'.
