In dicot roots, the initiation of the lateral roots and the vascular cambium during the secondary growth takes place in:
| 1. | Pericycle |
| 2. | Endodermis |
| 3. | Conjuctive tissue |
| 4. | Epidermis |
In dicot stem the vascular bundle is:-
| 1. | Conjoint, open and with exarch protoxylem. |
| 2. | Conjoint, open and with endarch protoxylem. |
| 3. | Conjoint and closed. |
| 4. | Scattered, each surrounded by a sclerenchymatous bundle sheath. |
Bulliform cells are found in:
| 1. | dorsiventral leaves and help in photosynthesis. |
| 2. | dorsiventral leaves and help in minimizing water loss. |
| 3. | isobilateral leaves and help in minimizing water loss. |
| 4. | isobilateral leaves and help in photosynthesis. |
The endodermis is absent or indistinct in the:-
1. Roots of all plants
2. Leaves of pteridophytes
3. Leaves of gymnosperms
4. Stems of woody plants
Identify the incorrect statement:
| 1. | The presence of vessels is a characteristic of angiosperms |
| 2. | In roots the primary xylem is exarch |
| 3. | Gymnosperms lack albuminous cells and sieve cells |
| 4. | Bast fibers are generally absent in primary phloem |
The given transverse section is of:

| 1. | Monocot stem | 2. | Dicot stem |
| 3. | Monocot root | 4. | Dicot root |
The vascular bundle shown in the diagram is most likely to be seen in:

| 1. | Monocot stem | 2. | Dicot stem |
| 3. | Monocot root | 4. | Dicot root |
The main function of the plant tissue shown below is:

| 1. | Storage of nutrients |
| 2. | Providing buoyancy to submerged plants |
| 3. | Mechanical support to growing parts of a plant |
| 4. | Increase in the length of the plant |
Consider the following statements:
In a monocot stem-
| I: | Hypodermis is collenchymatous. |
| II: | Vascular bundle are collateral and closed. |
| III: | Trichomes are usually absent. |
Which of the above statements are true?
| 1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
| 3. | II and III only | 4. | I, II and III |
Consider the following statements about dicot leaf:
| I: | The epidermis which covers both the upper surface (adaxial epidermis) and lower surface (abaxial epidermis) of the leaf has a conspicuous cuticle. |
| II: | More stomata present on upper surface. |
| III: | Mesophyll is differentiated into palisade and spongy parenchyma. |
Which of the above statements are true?
| 1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
| 3. | II and III only | 4. | I, II and III |
