Question

Which of the following is the correct sequence of the developmental process in a plant cell?

• A. Plasmatic growth, Differentiation, Senescence and Maturation respectively
• B. Plasmatic growth, Differentiation, Maturation and Senescence respectively
• C. Maturation, Plasmatic growth, Differentiation and Senescence respectively
• D. Differentiation, Plasmatic growth, Maturation and Senescence respectively

Answer 1

The correct option is B Plasmatic growth, Differentiation, Maturation and Senescence respectively

Plant's life may be as short as a few weeks or months, but they go through distinct changes as they grow, just as people do. The stages that plants go through are from seed to sprout, then through vegetative, budding, flowering, and ripening stages. The correct sequence of the development process in a plant cell is cell division, elongation, differentiation and maturation.

The development process of a cell refers to the changes that occur in the cell from cell division to maturation. The source of all plant cells i.e. xylem phloem, pith, etc. is apical and shoots meristem.

At the meristem, cell division occurs, and after division, daughter cells further undergo plasmatic growth and differentiation, furthur elongation and maturation. Finally the plant cell becomes old and dead (senescence).

So the correct answer is "option b".
