Question

4. Differentiate between Dicotyledonae and
Monocotyledonae based on the following
characters
a. Type of roots
b. Venation in the leaves
c. Symmetry of flower​

Answer 1

Answer:

monocots differ from dicots in four structural features: their leaves, stems, roots and flowers. Within the seed lies the plant's embryo; it is here that the first difference between the two types can be seen. Whereas monocots have one cotyledon (vein), dicots have two.

Answer 2

Answer:

The differences based on the given points are:

1. Type of roots-

Monocots have fibrous root system whereas dicots mostly have a tap root system.

2. Venation in the leaves-

Monocots have long and narrow leaves along with parallel veins, whereas dicots have broad leaves with a network of veins( reticulate venation).

3. The symmetry of flowers-

In monocots, the flowers are arranged in three to six-fold symmetry whereas, in case of dicots, they are arranged in whorls.
