Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During secondary growth, a complete ring is formed by-
A
Only fascicular cambia
B
Only interfascicular cambia
C
Fascicular (vascular) cambia and interfascicular cambia
D
Fascicular cambia + Phellogen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘Fasicular cambium and interfascicular cambium’.

Detailed explanation-2: -A cambium occurring between vascular bundles is known as interfascicular cambium. It is responsible for the formation of secondary meristems. The interfascicular and fascicular cambium join to produce the vascular cambium, a continuous ring of meristematic tissue.

Detailed explanation-3: -Interfascicular cambium is secondary meristem. It develops from the parenchymatous cells of medullary rays. It is located between two consecutive vascular bundles. During secondary growth its derivatives are secondary phloem, secondary xylem and conjunctive tissue.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fascicular and intrafascicular strips of meristem form the cambial ring in a dicot stem during the secondary growth.

Detailed explanation-5: -Final answer: Intra fascicular cambium is a primary meristem.
