Question:
Which of the statements given is not true about formation of Annual Rings in trees?
Differential activity of cambium causes light and dark bands of tissue early and late wood respectively
Annual ring is a combination of spring wood and autumn wood produced in a year
Annual rings are not prominent in trees of temperate region
Activity of cambium depends upon variation of climate
Solution:
Correct option is D. Annual rings are not prominent in trees of temperate region. Growth rings are formed by the seasonal activity of cambium. In plants of temperate regions, cambium is more active in spring and less active in autumn seasons. In temperate regions climatic conditions are not uniform throughout the year. However in tropics climatic conditions are uniform throughout the year. So, the correct answer is 'Annual rings are not prominent in trees of temperate region'
