Identify the changes that occur after the conversion of vegetative meristem to floral meristem.

A. Condensation of internodes

B. Production of floral leaves

C. Production of bracts

D. Formation of floral buds.

detailed solution

Correct option is C

With the formation of floral meristem, the internodes get condensed and the apex may totally transform into a flower with usually three condensed internodes and four nodes from which the floral leaves arise. A bract may also be formed as a leaf like appendage in whose axil either a flower or a floral branch is present. Based on the type of inflorescence the flowers may be formed at the apex of axis and its branches in solitary manner or they are formed laterally.
