| I: | hypodermis is collenchymatous |
| II: | vascular bundles are conjoint and closed |
| III: | phloem parenchyma is absent |
A transverse section of a plant part shows the following features:
| I: | Innermost layer of cortex has casparian strips. |
| II: | Pericycle has parenchymatous cells. |
| III: | Radially arranged two to four xylem and phloem patches. |
This transverse section must be of:
1. Dicot root
2. Monocot root
3. Dicot stem
4. Monocot stem
| 1. | They enclose stomata. |
| 2. | They are bean shaped in grasses. |
| 3. | The outer walls are thin and the inner walls are highly thickened. |
| 4. | They possess chloroplasts. |
| I: | It usually develops in the cortex region and is a couple of layers thick. |
| II: | It cuts off cells on both sides where the inner cells differentiate into cork and the outer cells differentiate into secondary cortex. |
| I: | Epiblema | Many of the cells of epiblema protrude in the form of unicellular root hairs. |
| II: | Endodermis | The tangential as well as radial walls of the cells have a deposition of suberin in the form of casparian strips. |
| III: | Pericycle | Initiation of lateral roots and vascular cambium during the secondary growth takes place in these cells |
| IV: | Pith | Large and well developed. |
| Statement I: | Endarch and exarch are the terms often used for describing the position of secondary xylem in the plant body. |
| Statement II: | Exarch condition is the most common feature of the root system. |
| Assertion (A): | Late wood has fewer xylary elements with narrow vessels. |
| Reason (R): | Cambium is less active in winters. |
| 1. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 4. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
