GK QUESTION#3838
Which of the given statement(s) is/are correct?
Statement 1: Monocot leaves have veins that run parallel from the base to the tip.
Statement 2: Parallel venation causes vascular bundles in monocot leaves to be nearly equal in size.
Show Answer
Answer
C. Both 1 and 2
Show Explanation
Explanation
