Monocots versus Eudicots

Video not yet published
to the StudyWalks catalog
State

A monocot embryo carries one seed leaf, parallel leaf veins, and scattered vascular bundles; a eudicot carries two seed leaves, net-veined leaves, and ringed bundles.

Show

Corn, a monocot, shows parallel veins; a bean, a eudicot, shows net-veined leaves.

Watch for

No single trait is definitive — check vein pattern and cotyledon number together, since floral counts (three versus four-or-five) have exceptions.
