Question

Mention one-way to determine the final structure of a cell at maturity.

Answer 1

Ways to determine the final structure of a cell at maturity: -

1. The position of the cell within also affects the tissue's eventual form as it reaches maturity.
2. Root apical meristem cells mature as the epidermis, whereas root cap cells are differentiated from cells pushed outward from the meristem.
3. Environmental cues like light, temperature, and gravity also have an impact on particular growth phases or stages.
4. For instance, cells positioned distant from root apical meristems differentiate into root-cap cells, but cells pushed to the periphery develop into the epidermis.
