Question

Vascular bundles in which phloem is found on both sides of xylem are called

• A. Amphicribal
• B. Radial
• C. Bicollateral
• D. Collateral

Answer 1

The correct option is C Bicollateral

Vascular bundles in plants are made up of conducting tissues of the xylem and the phloem.

A. Amphicribal are the concentric vascular bundles where phloem surrounds the xylem and xylem is interior to the phloem.

B. Radial vascular bundles have xylem and phloem present on different radii.

C. Bicollateral vascular bundles have xylem and phloem present on the same radius and phloem is found on both the sides of xylem.

D. Collateral vascular bundles have xylem and phloem present on the same radius and phloem is present on the outer side of the xylem.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Bicollateral'.
