Question

Select the correct option:

In dicot stems, cambium present between primary xylem and primary phloem is

• A. fascicular cambium
• B. intrafascicular cambium
• C. interfascicular cambium
• D. both (a) and (b)

Answer 1

The correct option is D both (a) and (b)

The cambium present between the xylem and phloem of a vascular bundle is called fascicular cambium. The fascicular cambium is also called as intrafascicular cambium since they are present inside the vascular bundle. In the beginning, the fascicular cambium is a primary meristem, later during the secondary growth; it gets transformed into a secondary meristem.

So, the correct option is 'both (a) and (b)'.
