Question

Apical meristem of root is present

• A. Only in radicles
• B. Only in tap roots
• C. Only in adventitious roots
• D. In all the roots

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

In all the roots

Root apical meristem is the primary meristem that is present in both the tap root system and the adventitious root system. It is present behind the root cap, and so it is sub-apical in position. In some roots, there occurs the quiescent centre that has metabolically inactive cells. This region acts as the reservoir of the cells to the meristem

So, the correct answer is 'In all the roots'
