Question
Leaves of dicotyledonous plants possess ______ venation, while ______ venation is the characteristic of most monocotyledons.
Options
reticulate and parallel
parallel and reticulate
reticulate and perpendicular
obliquely and parallel
Solution
Leaves of dicotyledonous plants possess reticulate venation, while parallel venation is the characteristic of most monocotyledons.
Explanation:
The leaves of dicotyledonous plants have reticulate venation, whereas most monocotyledonous plants have parallel venation. The major veins of the leaf create numerous irregular branches in reticulate venation, resulting in a net-like pattern. The most prevalent vein formation in leaves is reticulated venation. Maple trees, oak trees, and rose bushes all have it in their leaves. Venation veins are positioned parallel to each other in parallel.
