30. In legumes, the placentation is:
A) Basal
B) Marginal

C) Mint
D) Tendrils of grape
✅ Answer: D) Tendrils of grape
Explanation: In grapes, the stem is modified into coiled tendrils to help in climbing.
36. Which structure is common in both dicot and monocot roots?
A) Pith
B) Exarch xylem
C) Polyarch condition
D) Cambium
✅ Answer: B) Exarch xylem
Explanation: In both root types, protoxylem lies towards the periphery – called exarch arrangement.

A) Epicarp
B) Endocarp
C) Pericarp and fleshy seed coat
D) Pericarp and unfertilized ovary
✅ Answer: D) Pericarp and unfertilized ovary
