Show Answer
Answer: (4) Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is true.
Explanation-
- Statement I is incorrect because “endarch” and “exarch” are terms used to describe the arrangement of primary xylem, not secondary xylem, in the plant body.
- Statement II is true because the exarch condition, where the protoxylem is located towards the periphery and the metaxylem towards the center, is a common feature of the root system.
