Question

Which of the following feature is common in dicots and monocots?

• A. Root system
• B. Type of flower
• C. Venation in leaves
• D. Photosynthetic pigment in leaves

Answer 1

The correct option is D Photosynthetic pigment in leaves

There are significant differences in features of dicot and monocot plants, some of which are explained below:

• Root system: Dicots have a tap root system whereas monocots have a fibrous root system

• Flower: Dicots have flower parts like petals always in multiples of 4 or 5 while monocots' flower parts are in multiples of 3
• Venation: Dicots have netlike branching veins while monocots have parallel venation.
• The number of cotyledons: Dicots have 2 while monocots have 1 cotyledon in their seeds.

However, since both are photosynthetic plants both monocots and dicots have photosynthetic pigment in leaves.

Hence the correct answer is D.
