Q. Consider the following two statements and select the correct option.
Statement I: Monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants differ in type, number and location of their vascular bundles.
Statement II:The secondary growth occurs in most of the monocotyledonous roots and stems which increases the girth of the organs due to the activity of the vascular cambium and the cork cambium.

Anatomy of Flowering Plants

Solution:

• Monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants show marked variation in their internal structures. They differ in type, number and location of vascular bundles.
• The secondary growth occurs in most of the dicotyledonous roots and stems and it increases the girth (diameter) of the organs by the activity of the vascular cambium and the cork cambium.
