Question

Tendrils in pea are modified

• A. axillary buds
• B. terminal buds
• C. leaves
• D. lateral buds

Answer 1

The correct option is C

leaves

Leaves are often modified to perform functions other than photosynthesis. In peas, they are converted into tendrils for climbing. In other plants such as the yellow vetch (Lathyrus aphaca), the whole leaf is modified to become tendrils while the stipules become enlarged and carry out photosynthesis.
