Question

If there is a leaf at a node bearing a single branch in its axil, a transverse section of the node shows the vascular system of the main stem, then the

• A. Leaf trace, leaf gap, branch trace and finally the branch gap
• B. Branch gap, branch trace, leaf gap and finally the leaf trace
• C. Branch gap, leaf gap, leaf trace and finally the branch trace
• D. Branch trace, leaf gap, branch gap and finally the leaf trace

Answer 1

The correct option is B Branch gap, branch trace, leaf gap and finally the leaf trace

After the vascular bundle we find

1. Branch gap is the parenchymatous area in the vascular cylinder of stem at the node .
2. Branch trace is the area related with the formation of a break in the vascular cylinder around and above the point of departure of trace.
3. leaf gap is the space through which leaf grows.
4. leaf is connected to stem by leaf trace.

So the correct option is "Branch gap,branch trace ,leaf gap and finally the leaf trace".
