are peas dicots or monocots
Flowering plants are divided into monocots (or monocotyledons) and dicots (or dicotyledons). This comparison examines the morphological differences in the leaves, stems, flowers and fruits of monocots and dicots. Diffen › Science › Biology › Botany. Flowering plants are divided into monocots (or monocotyledons) and dicots (or dicotyledons). This comparison examines the morphological differences in the leaves, stems, flowers and fruits of monocots and dicots. Another important difference is that while in monocots the flowers have petals in multiples of three, in the case of dicot these are in multiples of 4 or 5. As far as the leaves are concerned, monocots exhibit parallel veins while dicots have reticulated veins. There are many other features that distinguish the two. Monocots have long, narrow leaves with parallel veins (such as grasses.) The parts of monocot flowers are arranged in threes or in multiples of three. Dicots have broad leaves with branched veins. The parts of dicot flowers are arranged in fours and fives or multiples of fours and five. Monocots have long, narrow leaves with parallel veins (such as grasses.) The parts of monocot flowers are arranged in threes or in multiples of three. Dicots have broad leaves with branched veins. The parts of dicot flowers are arranged in fours and fives or multiples of fours and fives. 2. The flowers of monocots have petals in multiples of three while dicot flowers have in multiples of 4 or 5. 3.The stem vascular bundles are scattered in monocots whereas in the case of dicots these are in a ring. So next time you have your peas or corn remember that the former is a dicot while the latter is a monocot. Summary: 1.Monocots are single seeds while dicots seeds can be split into two halves. 2. The flowers of monocots have petals in multiples of three while dicot flowers have in multiples of 4 or 5. Monocots have only one seed leaf inside the seed coat. It is often only a thin leaf, because the endosperm to feed the new plant is not inside the seed leaf. Dicots have two seed leaves inside the seed coat. They are usually rounded and fat, because they contain the endosperm to feed the embryo plant. The vascular cambium of monocots occurs in bundles scattered throughout the stem. For example, grasses, corn. Dicots have leaves with netted veins, a long tap root, flower parts in 4's or 5's, and seeds with two cotyledons. The vascular cambium of dicots occurs in a ring within the stem. They have vascular bundles that are arranged in a circle within the stem and have leaves with veins that are arranged in a netlike … pattern. These are characteristics of dicots and thus Dwarf pea plants fit this classification. 1 person found this useful.
