Question

Which of the following developmental stages determines the shape and size of the cell?

• A. Differentiation
• B. Cell division
• C. Morphogenesis
• D. Pattern formation

Answer 1

The correct option is A Differentiation

Differentiation is the process through which the plant cell forms a type of cell in a tissue and specifically performs the function of that tissue. This is the phase which determines the change in the shape, size, volume, metabolic activity, etc. of the cell. This is the phase by which the cell becomes committed to a tissue type.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
