Question

For the following characteristic, indicate M for monocot and E for eudicot. Vascular bundles neatly and uniformly arranged around the stem

Answer 1

The correct label for vascular bundles neatly arranged around the stem is E for eudicot. In eudicots, vascular tissue forms a ring in the stem, unlike in monocots where it is scattered.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the characteristic of vascular bundles being neatly and uniformly arranged around the stem, the correct labeling is E for eudicot. In eudicots, also known as true dicots, the vascular tissue, which includes both xylem and phloem, forms a ring in the stem.

This is in contrast to monocots, where vascular tissue is scattered in the stem without a uniform arrangement. An example of this arrangement is the clover stem, a eudicot, that shows vascular bundles organized in a ring with a large central pith.

Answer 2

M: Eudicot

Step-by-step explanation:

In the dicot stem, the vascular bundles are arranged in a ring, with pith concentrated at the core of the stem, rather than being scattered throughout the plant interior. In each vascular bundle, the xylem and phloem are separated by a substance called vascular cambium

The main difference between stems of both the plants is due to the arrangement of the vascular bundle. In monocots stem, the vascular bundles are scattered across the stem without any definite arrangement. On the other hand, in dicots stem, the vascular bundles are arranged in the form of one or two broken rings, following that they have a definite shape.
