Question

Find the correct sets from the following.
$\begin{array}{ccc}\text{Type of plant tissue}& \text{Location}& \text{Function}\\ \text{I.}\text{Apical meristem}& \text{Tip of stem and roots}& \text{Increase in length}\\ \text{II.}\text{Lateral meristem}& \text{Laterally placed inside stem and root}& \text{Increase in girth}\\ \text{III.}\text{Intercalary meristem}& \text{Base of leaves and internodes}& \text{Growth of leaves and stem}\end{array}$

• A. Only I
• B. Only I and II
• C. Only I and III
• D. I, II, and III

Answer 1

The correct option is D I, II, and III

Apical meristem is present at the growing tips of stems and roots. It helps in increasing the length of the plant. Lateral meristem is present in the lateral walls of the stem. It helps in increasing the girth of the plant. Intercalary meristem is present at the base of leaves and internodes and helps in growth of leaves and stem.
