The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the statements about secondary growth in roots, we will analyze each statement one by one and determine whether they are true (T) or false (F). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement I: Vascular cambium is partially secondary in origin.** - The vascular cambium in dicot roots is formed entirely from the pericycle, which is a secondary tissue. Therefore, this statement is **False (F)**. 2. **Statement II: Vascular cambium is formed as a continuous and complete but wavy ring.** - The vascular cambium does indeed form a continuous and complete ring, although it may appear wavy initially. Over time, it becomes more circular. Hence, this statement is **True (T)**. 3. **Statement III: Cork cambium arises from cortical cells.** - The cork cambium (also known as phellogen) is formed from the dedifferentiation of parenchyma cells, but it does not arise from the cortical cells specifically. Therefore, this statement is **False (F)**. ### Summary of Statements: - Statement I: False (F) - Statement II: True (T) - Statement III: False (F) ### Final Answer: The correct option based on the analysis is that the first statement is false, the second statement is true, and the third statement is false.
