Vedclass · Answer

(C) In $Cycas$,the female reproductive structures are not organized into a compact cone or flower; instead,they are megasporophylls arranged loosely. Thus,statement $A$ is correct. $Cycas$ leaves exhibit circinate vernation (young leaves are coiled),so statement $B$ is correct. The roots of $Cycas$ form a symbiotic association with nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria (blue-green algae like $Anabaena$ or $Nostoc$) in coralloid roots,so statement $D$ is correct. Regarding statement $C$,the xylem of $Cycas$ consists of tracheids,but it also contains xylem parenchyma. The statement that it contains 'only' xylem tracheids is incorrect because it ignores the presence of parenchyma,making $C$ the incorrect statement.

Which of the following statements is incorrect for $Cycas$?
