Read the following statements regarding the vascular cambium in a dicot stem: (A) Intrafascicular cambium is present between primary xylem and primary phloem. (B) Interfascicular cambium is formed by the dedifferentiation of endodermal cells. (C) The continuous cambial ring is partly primary and partly secondary in origin. (D) Interfascicular cambium is an example of a primary meristem. How many of the above statemen

Step-by-step solution

Statement (A) is correct as the cambium present inside the vascular bundle, between primary xylem and primary phloem, is the intrafascicular cambium. Statement (B) is incorrect because interfascicular cambium is formed by the dedifferentiation of medullary ray cells, not endodermal cells. Statement (C) is correct because the continuous cambial ring is formed by both intrafascicular cambium (which is primary in origin) and interfascicular cambium (which is secondary in origin). Statement (D) is incorrect because int
