The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to fill in the blanks with the appropriate terms related to the morphology of flowering plants. The question states: "leaf develops at the (a)_____ and bears a (b)____ in its axil." ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify where the leaf develops**: - In the structure of a plant, leaves typically develop from a specific region known as the node. The node is the part of the stem where leaves are attached. 2. **Determine what is found in the axil of the leaf**: - The axil is the angle between the upper side of the leaf stalk (petiole) and the stem. In this region, there is usually a structure known as an axillary bud. This bud has the potential to develop into a branch or flower. 3. **Fill in the blanks**: - For (a), we fill in "node" because that is where the leaf develops. - For (b), we fill in "bud" because that is the structure that is found in the axil of the leaf. ### Final Answer: - (a) node - (b) bud ---
