Question

Which among the following is incorrect about reticulate and parallel venation?

• A. In reticulate venation, veins are arranged haphazardly
• B. In parallel venation, veins are arranged in a parallel manner
• C. In palmate venation, only one strong mid-rib is present
• D. Rice is an example of convergent palmate parallel venation

Answer 1

Answer:

C. In palmate venation, only one strong mid-rib is present

In reticulate venation, veins are arranged haphazardly. However in parallel venation, veins are arranged in a parallel manner. Both the kinds can be further classified into palmate and pinnate. In pinnate venation, only one strong mid-rib is present and in palmate venation more than one strong rib is present. Rice is an example of convergent palmate parallel venation.
