| 3. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct. | 
| 4. | Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect | 
In old trees the greater part of secondary xylem is dark brown and resistant to insect attack due to :

| b. | deposition of organic compounds like tannins and resins in the central layers of stem. | 
| c. | deposition of suberin and aromatic substances in the outer layer of stem. | 
| d. | deposition of tannins, gum, resin and aromatic substances in the peripheral layers of stem. |

| 1. | They are elongated cells with thickened lignified cell walls. | 
| 2. | They are dead cells that provide structural support. | 
| 3. | They are elongated cells with unevenly thickened non-lignified cell walls. |

| Assertion (A): | Grasses can regenerate parts lost due to grazing herbivores. | 
| Reason (R): | Grasses have secondary meristems like intercalary meristem. | 
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) explains (A) | 
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not explain (A) |

| I: | Bulliform cells | large, bubble-shaped epidermal cells that occur in groups on the upper surface of the leaves of many monocots. | 
| II: | Lenticells | a porous tissue consisting of cells with large intercellular spaces in the periderm of the secondarily thickened organs and the bark of woody stems and roots of dicotyledonous flowering plants | 
Consider the given statements:
| I. | In dicot roots, the pericycle strengthens the roots and provides protection for the vascular bundles. | 
| II. | In dicot root, the vascular cambium is completely secondary in origin, and it originates from a portion of pericycle tissue. | 
| III. | The pericycle regulates the formation of lateral roots by rapidly dividing near the xylem elements of the root. | 
The correct statements are:
| 1. | Only I and II | 2. | Only I and III | 
| 3. | Only II and III | 4. | I, II and III | 
| 1. | Parenchyma | 2. | Collenchyma | 
| 3. | Sclerenchyma | 4. | Sclereid |
