Accepted Answer

Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. We have a rather short video. So let's jump straight into it. We have the vascular camby um appears as a ring of actively dividing cells between. So since these vascular can be um is a ring of actively dividing cells I want you to recall from previous videos what these cells are going to be divided into. Well, this vascular can be um gives rise to the secondary asylum and the secondary flow um in this division ring. So since it's given rise to the secondary asylum and the secondary flow, um it makes sense the thing that is going to be located in the primary asylum and primary flow or in between them. So this is going to be represented by answer choice. That is the final answer to the question. And I really hope this video helped.
