Q. No.The vascular cambium normally gives rise to
1.
Phelloderm
2.
Primary phloem
3.
Secondary xylem
4.
Periderm
Secondary xylem and secondary phloem in dicot stem are produced by
1. Apical meristems
2. Axillary meristems
3. Phellogen
4. Vascular cambium
Plants having little or no secondary growth are
| 1. | Grasses | 2. | Cycads |
| 3. | Conifers | 4. | Deciduous angiosperms |
Cuticle:
1. is a covering, both outside and inside of the epidermis
2. is well developed in roots
3. helps in prevention of water loss
4. is a proteinaceous layer
In a dicot stem, the pericycle is present on the inner side of the endodermis and:
| 1. | above the phloem, in form of semi-lunar patches of sclerenchyma |
| 2. | above the xylem, in form of semi-lunar patches of sclerenchyma |
| 3. | above the phloem, in form of semi-lunar patches of collenchyma |
| 4. | above the xylem, in form of semi-lunar patches of collenchyma |
In a dicot root, initiation of lateral roots and vascular cambium during the secondary growth takes place in the cells of:
| 1. | Outer cortex | 2. | Inner cortex |
| 3. | Endodermis | 4. | Pericycle |
In a dicot stem the term 'starch sheath' is used for:
| 1. | Epidermis with guard cells | 2. | Hypodermis |
| 3. | Endodermis | 4. | Pericycle |
