In quiescent zone, DNA content is
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Low
The root apical meristem is present as the tip of main root and has a quiescent centre in its centre, which is characterized by low frequency of cell division, mitosis and thus low synthesis of DNA, RNA and protein. The quiescent centre serves as reserve meristem and is most apparent in actively growing roots but disappears during dormant phase, carbohydrate starvation or root cap removal.
