Consider the given statements:
I. | In dicot roots, the pericycle strengthens the roots and provides protection for the vascular bundles. |
II. | In dicot root, the vascular cambium is completely secondary in origin, and it originates from a portion of pericycle tissue. |
III. | The pericycle regulates the formation of lateral roots by rapidly dividing near the xylem elements of the root. |
The correct statements are:
1. | Only I and II | 2. | Only I and III |
3. | Only II and III | 4. | I, II and III |
A major characteristic of the monocot root is the presence of:
1. | Scattered vascular bundles |
2. | Vasculature without cambium |
3. | Cambium sandwiched between phloem and xylem along the radius |
4. | Open vascular bundles |
