MONOCOT vs DICOT



People just tend to look at flowers, as flowers. But they are categorized into dicots and monocots. Each group has distinct features .For example, Flowers of monocots  have the parts in threes or groups of three. For example, a monocot flower may have three sepals, three petals, six stamens, and a pistil with three chambers. Flowers of dicots have the parts in fours or fives, or multiples of four or five. Leaves of monocots generally have parallel venation whereas leaves of dicots generally have netted venation.(Braselton, J. P. (2006).  )The flower to the left is a dicot and the flower to the right is a monocot.
