Q. No.
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 |

Plant tissues are classified into two main groups, meristematic and permanent, mainly on the basis of:
1. their location
2. time of their origin during the plant life
3. capability of division
4. degree of differentiation
