Question

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.
Which of the following is an incorrect contrast between monocots (stated first) and dicots (stated second)

• A. One cotyledon-two cotyledons
• B. Leaf veins parallel-net veined
• C. Vascular bundles in a ring-vascular bundles scattered
• D. Flower parts in threes-flower parts in fours or fives

Answer 1

The correct option is C Vascular bundles in a ring-vascular bundles scattered

In monocots, the vascular bundles have no cambium and do not form a closed structure. The vascular bundles in monocots are scattered whereas the vascular bundles in dicots are arranged in form of a ring-like structure. This is the basic structural difference.

So, the correct option is 'Vascular bundles in a ring-vascular bundles scattered'
