Question

Grafting is successful in dicots but not in monocots because the dicots have?

• A. Vascular bundles arranged in a ring
• B. Cambium for secondary growth
• C. Vessels with elements arranged end to end
• D. Cork cambium

Answer 1

The correct option is B Cambium for secondary growth

The cambium has the capacity to shape auxiliary xylem and phloem. It is available in dicots and missing in monocots. If there should arise an occurrence of joining, it is imperative that the plant should shape essential and auxiliary tissue for its survival. Henceforth, joining is effective in dicots.

So, the correct option is 'Cambium for secondary growth'.
