Question

The cell division in the tunica region of shoot apex is

• A. Periclinal
• B. Horizontal
• C. Anticlinal
• D. Radial

Answer 1

The correct option is A Periclinal

When cell division occurs at the right angle to the length of a cell, it is called as anticlinal division. When cell division occurs parallel to the length of the cell, then it is called as periclinal division. It results in the increase of the cell numbers as well as the cell rows around that organ. This type of cell division is observed in tunica region of shoot apex.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
