In a dorsiventral leaf, protoxylem is situated towards the (I) surface and protophloem towards the (II) surface in the vascular bundle.
Options
- AI: adaxial and II: adaxial
- BI: abaxial and II: abaxial
- CI: abaxial and II: adaxial
- DI: adaxial and II: abaxial
Correct answer
D. I: adaxial and II: abaxial
Step-by-step solution
In dorsiventral leaves, protoxylem is situated towards the upper surface (adaxial surface) and protophloem towards the lower surface (abaxial surface) in the vascular bundle. The adaxial surface is the upper surface of the leaf, whereas the abaxial surface is the lower surface.
