Growth of vascular cambium is an example of:
Options
- ASenescence
- BGeometric growth
- CArithmetic growth
- DPlasticity
Correct answer
C. Arithmetic growth
Step-by-step solution
In arithmetic growth, the cell divides giving rise to two daughter cells. From which, only one daughter cell continues to divide while the other differentiates and matures to become a permanent cell. This kind of nature of growth rate is shown by meristematic cells. Plasticity is the ability of the tissues to form different structures in response to environmental conditions. Senescence is the deterioration phase with respect to the ageing of a cell or tissue or an organism.
