Question

DO PERMANENT TISSUES CONDUCT CELL DIVISIONS

Answer 1

Permanent tissues are composed of mature cells, which have lost their power of division. Cells in a permanent tissue attain definite shape, size, and functions. They may be dead or living. Permanent tissues are derived from meristematic tissues.

Permanent tissues are broadly classified into two major groups:

• Simple permanent tissue: Similar types of cells are grouped together, which perform the same types of functions.

• Complex permanent tissue: Different types of cells are grouped together for specific functions.
