Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of monocots?
A
parallel leaf veins
B
flowers parts in multiples of 3
C
two seed leaves
D
scattered vascular bundles
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Parallel leaf venation is not a characteristic of all monocots.

Detailed explanation-2: -The roots of a monocot lack a vascular cambium (the area of secondary xylem and phloem, or secondary vascular tissue, development) and therefore have no means of secondary thickening.

Detailed explanation-3: -Monocots have only one seed leaf inside the seed coat. It is often only a thin leaf, because the endosperm to feed the new plant is not inside the seed leaf. Dicots have two seed leaves inside the seed coat. They are usually rounded and fat, because they contain the endosperm to feed the embryo plant.

Detailed explanation-4: -Monocot leaves are slender and elongated with parallel veins. Compared to other forms of veins, in parallel venation, the veins are small in size with even smaller veins connecting them. Monocots have flower parts in sets of three. Their roots are fibrous.
