Read the following Assertion and Reason and choose the correct option. Assertion: Formation of meristems – interfascicular cambium and cork cambium from fully differentiated parenchyma cells are examples of dedifferentiation Reason: Meristems are able to divide and produce cells that once again lose the ability to divide

Step-by-step solution

The living differentiated cells, that by now have lost the capacity to divide can regain the capacity of division under certain conditions. This phenomenon is termed as dedifferentiation. For example, formation of meristems – interfascicular cambium and cork cambium from fully differentiated parenchyma cells.
