Question

Which of the following is the characteristic feature of cells of meristematic tissue?

• A. Actively dividing cells with dense cytoplasm thick cell wall and prominent nuclei
• B. Actively dividing cells with dense cytoplasm, thin cell wall and no vacuoles
• C. Actively dividing cells with little cytoplasm, thin cell wall and prominent nuclei
• D. Actively dividing cells with thin cytoplasm, thin cell wall and no vacuoles

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Actively dividing cells with dense cytoplasm, thin cell wall and no vacuoles

Meristematic tissues are formed of small immature cells that are round or polygonal in shape and possess a thin cell wall. These cells have a great ability to divide and grow and are arranged closely without intercellular spaces. Meristematic tissues generally lack vacuole and store less food due to actively dividing cells
