Bulliform cells
Ring arrangement of vascular bundles
Answers respectively



Assertion (): The veins vary in thickness in dicot leaves, with reticular venation.
Reason (): The size of the vascular bundles is dependent on the size of the veins.


In cucurbits, phloem is present on either side of xylem and separated by cambium
