Question

Which of the following meristem is derived from the promeristem?

• A. Primary
• B. Secondary
• C. Apical
• D. Both (A) and (C)

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both (A) and (C)

The undifferentiated immature cells with the capacity to divide are called as meristems or meristematic cells. The meristems which chiefly found in clusters are grouped according to origin, position, angle of the cell division plane. Based on its origin, the meristems are further classified as pro-meristems, primary meristems and secondary meristems. Since, the continuously dividing cells of the shoot and root tip is made up of pro-meristems, both the primary meristems and the apical meristems are derived from pro-meristems.

Thus, the correct option is D.
