Question

Which of the following is wrong about stem vascular bundles?

A. Can be scattered or located in a ring
B. Cells of primary xylem are larger than cells of primary phloem
C. Relative amount of cell types within the bundles can vary
D. Phloem inner side and xylem outer side
E. Can be interconnected with other vascular bundles

Answer 1

The statement that is wrong about stem vascular bundles is option D: Phloem inner side and xylem outer side.

Step-by-step explanation:

The wrong statement about stem vascular bundles is option D. Phloem inner side and xylem outer side. In dicot stems, the xylem tissue is located toward the interior of the vascular bundle, while the phloem is located toward the exterior. The phloem is always on the inner side and the xylem is always on the outer side of the vascular bundle.
