To solve the question "In which of the following xylem lacks vessels?" we need to analyze the options given and understand the characteristics of xylem in different plant groups. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Xylem Composition**: - Xylem is a type of tissue in vascular plants responsible for the transport of water and minerals. It consists of two main components: tracheids and vessels. - Tracheids are present in all vascular plants, while vessels are primarily found in angiosperms (flowering plants). 2. **Identify the Plant Groups**: - The options provided are: Cycus, Mango, Neem, and Teak. - Cycus is a gymnosperm, while Mango, Neem, and Teak are angiosperms. 3. **Examine Each Option**: - **Cycus**: As a gymnosperm, Cycus lacks vessels and only has tracheids. - **Mango**: This is an angiosperm and contains vessels in its xylem. - **Neem**: Also an angiosperm, Neem has vessels in its xylem. - **Teak**: Similar to Mango and Neem, Teak is an angiosperm and has vessels. 4. **Conclusion**: - Among the options, only Cycus is the plant where xylem lacks vessels. Therefore, the correct answer is Cycus. ### Final Answer: Cycus is the plant in which xylem lacks vessels. ---
