a biology student is hiking through a field when she notices a plant that has long, slender leaves with parallel veins. which is most likely also true about this plant?
o it will not produce fruit
o it will have one seed leaf in its seeds
o it will have petals in groups of five
o it will have vascular bundles arranged in rings in its stem

Explanation:

Plants with long, slender leaves and parallel veins are monocots (monocotyledons). Monocots have one seed leaf (cotyledon) in their seeds. Dicots (which have net - like leaf veins) have two seed leaves, petals in groups of four or five, vascular bundles in rings in the stem, and many dicots produce fruits (but monocots can also produce fruits like bananas). So the plant with parallel veins (a monocot) will have one seed leaf in its seeds. The other options describe dicot characteristics or incorrect statements about monocots.

Answer:

B. it will have one seed leaf in its seeds
