Q. No.Identify the incorrect comparison between monocots and dicots in general:
| Character | Monocots | Dicots | |
| 1. | Leaves | Parallel venation | Reticulate venation |
| 2. | Roots | Primary root of short duration, replaced by adventitial roots forming fibrous or fleshy root systems | Develops from the radicle. Primary root often persists forming strong tap roots and secondary roots |
| 3. | Plant stem: Vascular bundles | Ring of primary bundles with cambium, differentiated into cortex and stele | Numerous scattered bundles in ground parenchyma, cambium mostly absent, no differentiation between cortical and stelar regions |
| 4. | Flowers | Parts in threes (trimerous) or multiples of three | Fours (tetramerous) or fives (pentamerous) |
| COLUMN I | COLUMN II | ||
| A | Dicot stem | P | Vascular bundles are arranged in a ring |
| B | Monocot stem | Q | Pith is small or inconspicuous |
| C | Dicot root | R | Vascular bundles are many and scattered in the ground tissue with no definite arrangement. |
| D | Monocot root | S | Pith is large and well developed |
| A | B | C | D | |

| 3. | P | R | Q | S |
| 4. | R | P | S | Q |

In the given diagram of a dicot root, the highlighted blue portion:
I. is the endodermis and is included in the stele
II. is the pericycle and is included in the stele
1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect
As compared to a dicot root, a monocot root has
1. More abundant secondary xylem
2. Many xylem bundles
3. Inconspicuous annual rings
4. Relatively thicker periderm

In the primary stems and roots, the type of cells usually present in cortex, pith and medullary rays is:
| 1. Parenchyma | 2. Collenchyma |
| 3. Sclerenchyma | 4. Meristem |

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 |
The entrance of minerals into the vascular cylinder in the dicot root is regulated by:
| 1. | epidermis | 2. | pericycle |
| 3. | endodermis | 4. | root hairs |
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
Cortex is the region found between
1. endodermis and vascular bundle
2. epidermis and stele
3. pericycle and endodermis
4. endodermis and pith
