Question

Which of the following statements is not related to meristematic tissue?

• A. They are living, thin-walled cells
• B. Cells have dense cytoplasm
• C. They have vacuoles
• D. They have dense nucleus

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

They have vacuoles

Meristematic tissues are the plant tissues made up of living cells from the common origin. The cells involved in such tissues have thin cell wall, dense cytoplasm and nucleus and thus actively participate in cell division. As it is mainly concerned with the cell division, thus do not have waste to store and hence, vacuoles are absent.
