Question

Cytokinins are predominantly present in

• A. Permanent tissue
• B. Meristematic tissue
• C. Endodermis
• D. Cortical region

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Meristematic tissue

The correct option is B.

Explanation of the correct option:

1. Meristematic tissues are present at the sites of active cell division.
2. Cytokinins are plant growth regulators naturally synthesized in the plants where rapid cell division occurs e.g. root apices, shoot buds, young fruits, etc.
3. Cytokinins play an important role in the cytokinesis process of cell division.

Explanation of the incorrect options:

Option A:

Permanent tissue - will not produce plant growth regulators.

Option C:

Endodermis - will not produce plant growth regulators.

Option D:

Cortical region - will not produce plant growth regulators.

Final answer: Cytokinins are predominantly present in meristematic tissue.
