Q. No.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

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
In the given diagram, the root apical meristem is represented by the letter:
|
1. A |
 |

|
C. Xylem fibers |
c. Long cylindrical tube-like structures, lignified walls and a large central cavity |
|
D. Xylem parenchyma |
d. Elongated tube-like cells, lignified walls and tapering ends |

During the formation of primary plant body, dermal tissue, ground tissue and vascular tissue are produced by:
1. Primary meristems
2. Secondary meristems
3. Both primary and secondary meristems
4. Neither primary nor secondary meristems
Regarding the guard cells:
| 1. | walls away from the stomatal pores are thin and those towards the stomatal pores are thick |
| 2. | walls away from the stomatal pores are thick and those towards the stomatal pores are thin |
| 3. | chloroplasts are mostly absent |
| 4. | play no role in the regulation of opening and closing of stomata |
A simple plant tissue is characterized by:
1. continued cell division
2. presence of only living cells
3. cells with chloroplasts
4. presence of only one type of cells
