Question #1
In plant anatomy, the 'Periderm' is a secondary protective tissue that replaces the epidermis in stems and roots undergoing secondary growth. It consists of three main layers: the phellem, phellogen, and phelloderm. The 'phellem' is also known as:
A. Cork
B. Secondary cortex
C. Vascular cambium
D. Cork cambium

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The periderm is the outer protective covering of stems and roots that have undergone secondary growth (thickening), replacing the primary epidermis. It is composed of three distinct layers: 1) Phellem (cork): The outermost layer, consisting of dead, compactly arranged cells with suberized (waterproof) walls that provide protection and prevent water loss. 2) Phellogen (cork cambium): The middle, meristematic layer that produces phellem outwards and phelloderm inwards. 3) Phelloderm (secondary cortex): The innermost layer, consisting of living, parenchymatous cells.

The term for a sequence of three nucleotides on tRNA that is complementary to an mRNA codon is:
A. Anticodon
B. Exon
C. Codon
D. Promoter

Correct Answer: Option A
