Question

The cells of meristems are characterized by

• A. continuous division
• B. large vacuoles
• C. chloroplasts
• D. all of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A continuous division

Meristematic cells are characterized by continuous division, thin-walled cells which are cellulosic, dense cytoplasm, large prominent nuclei, no vacuoles and absence of intercellular spaces.

Chloroplasts are found in simple permanent tissues such as parenchyma and collenchyma and such tissues are called chlorenchyma. They help in photosynthesis.
