alleryA DORSIVENTRAL leaf (typical dicot) is characterised by:
AUniform mesophyll layer on both sides equally
BDistinct palisade above + spongy parenchyma below
CStomata on the upper epidermis only (top)
DNo stomata anywhere on the leaf surface
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Distinct palisade above + spongy parenchyma below
**DORSIVENTRAL leaf:** upper PALISADE PARENCHYMA (densely packed, photosynthesis) + lower SPONGY parenchyma (air spaces).
Stomata mainly on LOWER (abaxial) surface.
Monocot isobilateral leaves have uniform mesophyll + stomata on both sides.
