4. Increase in the length of the plant
Consider the following statements:

2. I and III only
3. II and III only
4. I, II and III
Consider the following statements about dicot leaf:
I: | The epidermis which covers both the upper surface (adaxial epidermis) and lower surface (abaxial epidermis) of the leaf has a conspicuous cuticle. |
II: | More stomata present on upper surface. |
III: | Mesophyll is differentiated into palisade and spongy parenchyma. |
Which of the above statements are true?
1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
3. | II and III only | 4. | I, II and III |
Consider the following statements:
With respect to secondary growth in dicot root-
I: | The vascular cambium is completely secondary in origin. |
II: | The primary phloem bundles are gradually crushed and not seen in older roots. |
III: | Phellogen gives rise to secondary tissue on the outside and forms the phellem. |
Which of the above statements are true?
1. I and II only
2. I and III only
3. II and III only
4. I, II and III
