Question

Rearrange the following zones seen in the root and choose the correct option.
(A) Zone of meristematic activity
(B) Root cap zone
(C) Zone of maturation
(D) Zone of elongation

• A. A, B, C, D
• B. B, A, D, C
• C. C, D, B, A
• D. D, C, B, A

Answer 1

The correct option is B B, A, D, C

The correct sequence of the zones seen in the root is: B, A, D and C i.e. root cap zone, zone of meristematic activity, zone of elongation and zone of maturation.

• Root cap zone protects the region of meristem from damage.
• The zone of meristematic activity is a region of continuous cell division.
• The zone of elongation is a region where cells undergo elongation after cell division.
• The maturation zone is where the cells have differentiated and in this region root hairs are formed.
