A bicollateral vascular bundle is characterized by:
Correct answer: D. Xylem being sandwitched between phloem
- A. Phloem being sandwitched between xylem
- B. Transverse splitting of vascular bundle
- C. Longitudinal splitting of vascular bundle
- D. Xylem being sandwitched between phloem
Explanation
A bicollateral vascular bundle is characterized by the xylem being sandwiched between the phloem. Here there are two cambuim rings e.g., Cucurbita. In a bicollateral vascular bundle, the xylem is sandwiched between two layers of phloem. This arrangement is different from a collateral vascular bundle, which has a phloem located on only one side of the xylem.
