Question

Which among the following describes a tissue as simple permanent?

• A. It is homogenous
• B. It performs the same function
• C. It has lost the ability to divide
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

A simple permanent tissue is a homogenous tissue, made up of the same types of cells, performing the same function, having a similar origin and is differentiated from the meristematic tissue by having lost the ability to divide. For example, parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma are simple permanent tissues.
