Consider the given two statements:
| Assertion (A): | Phellogen is a secondary meristem that forms cork on the outer side and secondary cortex on the inner side. |
| Reason (R): | Phellogen is formed every year from hypodermis and pericycle in dicot root and dicot stem respectively. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
| Assertion(A): | Secondary growth is absent in monocots |
| Reason(R): | Monocots lack vascular cambium. |
| 1. | Both (A) & (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
| 2. | Both (A) & (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is a true statement but (R) is false. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are false statements. |
Select incorrect statements from the given below:
| (i) | Endodermis with Casparian strips are found in the dicot stem. |
| (ii) | The endodermis is a part of the stele. |
| (iii) | Open vascular bundles are found in some monocots. |
| (iv) | Bulliform cells are found in the upper epidermis in the isobilateral leaf. |
| 1. | (i) and (ii) |
| 2. | (ii) and (iii) |
| 3. | (i), (ii) and (iii) |
| 4. | Only (iv) |

| (i) | The first formed primary xylem elements are called protoxylem and the later formed primary xylem is called metaxylem |
| (ii) | Primary xylem is endarch in stems |
| (iii) | Primary xylem is exarch is roots |
| (iv) | Phloem transports food materials, usually from leaves to other plants parts |
| (v) | Vessel members are interconnected through perforations in their common walls |
| (vi) | Tracheids are elongated or tube like cells with thick, lignified walls and tapering cells |
| (i) | The sieve tube elements and companion cells are connected by pit fields present between their common longitudinal walls. |
| (ii) | Pholem parenchyma is made of elongated non-tapering cylindrical cells which have scanty cytoplasm. |
| (iii) | Pholem fibres are made of parenchymatous cells. |
| (iv) | Companion cells help in maintaining the pressure gradient in the sieve tube. |
| (v) | The phloem parenchyma stores food material and other substances like resins, latex, and mucilage |
| (i) | Epidermal cells have a lower number of chloroplasts or lack them completely, except for the guard cells. |
| (ii) | Epidermis is mostly single-layered except in the leaves of Ficus and Peperomia. |
| (iii) | Epidermis lack intercellular spaces. |
| (iv) | Root epidermis lack cuticle. |
| (v) | In plants with secondary growth, the epidermis of roots and stems is usually replaced by a periderm through the action of cork cambium or phellogen. |
