Question

Apical meristem divides to form three meristematic regions.

• A. Dermal, vascular and ground
• B. Calyptrogen, periblem and plerome
• C. Protoderm, procambium and ground meristem
• D. Lateral, intercalary and subapical

Answer 1

The correct option is C Protoderm, procambium and ground meristem

The shoot apical meristem i.e. SAM of the plant form the three distinct meristematic zones which are the histogens.

Each of these histogens will rise to tissues which are different from one another. The root apical meristem gives rise to three primary meristems i.e. procambium, ground meristem, protoderm, and the root cap. Calyptrogen is the internal meristematic cell derived from the root apical meristem.

So, the correct answer is C.
