Question
Plants having little or no secondary growth are:
Grasses
Deciduous angiosperms
Conifers
Cycads
secondary growth is the increase in the girth of plant organs caused by the activity of lateral meristems, such as vascular cambium and cork-cambium . This process is characteristic of dicotyledonous plants and gymnosperms (which include conifers and cycads) . Conversely, monocotyledonous plants, such as grasses, do not undergo secondary growth . Therefore, grasses are the only plants listed that would exhibit little to no secondary growth.
This question aligns with the NEET BIOLOGY syllabus, specifically targeting concepts from Anatomy of Flowering Plants . Mastering this topic is crucial for scoring well in the upcoming medical entrance examinations. Solving conceptually related problems will help you understand the nuances of these concepts and improve your problem-solving speed.
