Question

In a few plants, the formation of new leaves or frond is tightly curled so that the tender growing tip of the frond is protected within a coil known as circinate vernation. This is found in

• A. Cycas
• B. Fern
• C. Moss
• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

The correct option is A Cycas

Circinate venation is a type of venation in which a fern frond is produced. It is tightly curled and it has a tender growing tip. There is a coil in which the growing tip is protected. The lower parts of the frond expand, perform the process of photosynthesis and lead to the growth of frond.

So, option A cycas is the correct answer.
