Question

A distinguishing feature of latex cells is that they are:-

• A. Single celled elements with anastomosing branches
• B. Single celled elements with nonanastomosing branches
• C. Multicelled elements with anastomosing branches
• D. Multicelled elements with nonanastomosing branches.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Single celled elements with nonanastomosing branches

Latex cells are single or independent units with non-anastomosing branches. They originate as minute structures and then, with the growth of the plant, elongate and branch, ramifying in all directions through the tissues of the plant, but without fusing together it forms a network.

So the correct answer is option B.
