Question

Select the incorrect statements related to anatomical characters from the following
I) Endodermis is a part of the stele.
II) Endodermis with casparian strips are found in the dicot stem.
III) Bulliform cells are found in the upper epidermis of the isobilateral leaf.
IV) Vascular bundles are open in monocot stems.

• A. I, II, IV
• B. I, II, III
• C. II, III, IV
• D. I, III, IV

Hint:

Casparian strips are found in roots; monocot stems have closed vascular bundles.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Statement I is incorrect because endodermis belongs to the cortex, not stele. Statement II is wrong since casparian strips occur in roots, not stems. Statement IV is incorrect as monocot stems have closed vascular bundles. Only statement III is correct.
