Assertion :In dicot leaf, epidermis covers both the upper surface (adaxial epidermis) and lower surface (abaxial epidermis) Reason: The adaxial epidermis bears more stomata than the abaxial epidermis
  1. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
  2. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
  3. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
  4. Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect

Verified by Toppr

A dicot leaf is a dorsiventral leaf. It is covered by epidermis on both the adaxial as well as the abaxial surface, however, the distribution of stomata on the abaxial surface is more than on the adaxial surface to prevent water loss due to transpiration.
So, the correct answer is 'Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect'
