Question

If there is more than one tunica layer in a stern apex.

Which among the following is most likely to happen?

• A. All the layers will develop into epidermal cells
• B. Only the outer layer will develop into epidermal cells
• C. All the layers will develop into cortex
• D. Inner layer develops into cortex

Answer 1

The correct option is B Only the outer layer will develop into epidermal cells

Even, if there is more than one tunica layer in the stem apex, only the outer layer will develop into the epidermal cells. The stem has three simple cell types, i.e. the parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma cells which are responsible for the metabolic functions, repairing and healing wounds and storing starch.

The correct option is B.
