NEETBotanyPlant - Growth and Development
Read the following statements and choose the following option: 1. The final structure at maturity of a cell is also determined by the location of the cell within 2. Differentiation on plants is open 3. Cells/tissues arising out of the same meristem have same structures at maturity 4. Cells positioned towards root apical meristems differentiate as root-cap cells, while those pushed to the periphery mature as epidermis
Options
- ABoth 1 and 3 are incorrect
- BOnly 4 is correct
- COnly 2 is correct
- DBoth 1 and 2 is correct
Correct answer
D. Both 1 and 2 is correct
Step-by-step solution
Differentiation in plants is open, because cells/tissues arising out of the same meristem have different structures at maturity. The final structure at maturity of a cell/tissue is also determined by the location of the cell within.
