Arrange the stages of cellular growth in ascending order from the first step to the last.
Arrange the stages of cellular growth in ascending order from the first step to the last.
The correct option is B Division, elongation, differentiation
The period of plant growth is divided into the meristematic phase, phase of elongation, and maturation phase.
In the meristematic phase (formative phase), the growing regions undergo mitotic divisions to form numerous cells.
During elongation, the newly formed cells absorb more water, and the turgidity and protoplasm increase. Cell wall thickening also takes place. These events lead to the enlargement and rapid growth of cells in this phase.
During the phase of maturation, the enlarged cells become differentiated to perform specific functions. The mature cells gradually get differentiated into permanent tissues by attaining their maximal size.
Hence, the correct order of arrangement of cellular growth stages is division, elongation, and differentiation.
