Question

Which one of the following is not a feature of monocots?

• A. Closed vascular bundles
• B. Open vascular bundles having cambium between xylem and phloem
• C. Scattered vascular bundles
• D. Oval vascular bundles

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Open vascular bundles having cambium between xylem and phloem

Monocots possess closed vascular bundles in which the cambium is absent in between xylem and phloem. Monocots have scattered vascular bundles, while dicots have a continuous ring arrangement of vascular bundles. Vascular bundles are of oval shape in monocots.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
