Transformation of meristematic cells into specific permanent tissues occurs by the process of
Options
- ACell differentiation.
- BCell division.
- CCell multiplication.
- DCell regeneration.
Correct answer
A. Cell differentiation.
Step-by-step solution
- The permanent tissues always differentiate from the meristematic cells, during the process of growth. These meristematic cells lose the ability to divide and take up a specific role. This process of taking up a permanent shape, size and a function is called cellular differentiation. - The cells derived from root apical and shoot-apical meristems and cambium differentiate and mature to perform specific functions. - This act leading to maturation is termed as differentiation. During differentiation, cells undergo f
