In the dicot root, the vascular cambium originates from:
| 1. | Tissue located below the phloem bundles and a portion of pericycle tissue above protoxylem |
| 2. | Cortical region |
| 3. | Parenchyma between endodermis and pericycle |
| 4. | Intrafascicular and interfascicular tissue in a ring |
Regeneration of damaged growing grass following grazing is largely due to:
| 1. | Lateral meristem | 2. | Apical meristem |
| 3. | Intercalary meristem | 4. | Secondary meristem |
Which of the statements given below is not true about the formation of Annual Rings in trees?
| 1. | Annual rings are not prominent in trees of temperate regions. |
| 2. | Annual rings are a combination of spring wood and autumn wood produced in a year. |
| 3. | Differential activity of cambium causes light and dark bands of tissue - early and late wood respectively. |
| 4. | Activity of cambium depends upon variation in climate. |

Grass leaves curl inwards during very dry weather. Select the most appropriate reason from the following :
