Anatomy Of Flowering Plants Question 124

Question: The vascular cambium produces xylem on one side and phloem on other because of it:

Options:

A) inter fascicular position

B) multicellular nature

C) gravitational force

D) difference in supply of hormones on two sides

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

In stems of dicotyledonous trees of temperate regions, intra and interfascicular cambium joins together and form into a ring of cambium called vascular cambium. It produces secondary xylem towards its innerside and secondary phloem towards its outerside, due to the influence of hormones.

So, the correct option is, ‘Differential action of hormones’.
