Q.

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: Endarch and exarch are the terms often used for describing the position of secondary xylem in the plant body.

Statement II: Exarch condition is the most common feature of the root system.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A

    Both Statement I and Statement II are true

  2. B

    Both Statement I and Statement II are false

  3. C

    Statement I is correct but Statement II is false

  4. D

    Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is true

Solution

Endarch/exarch are used for primary xylem, not secondary xylem, so Statement I is incorrect. Roots typically have exarch primary xylem (protoxylem outside, metaxylem inside) — Statement II is correct.
