The Leaf

Question

Assertion: Leaf of banana can be torn transversely into two or more pieces with smooth margins.

Reason : Banana is a monocot and has parallel venation.

Easy

A leaf with reticulate venation can not be torn in to pieces with smooth margins as the venation is in the form of net work due to anastomosis of veinlets. A leaf with parallel venation is can be cut either vertically as in grasses or transversely as in banana into pieces with smooth margins as the venation is parallel.
