Question

Which of the following types of growth can be related to the growth of muscle fibre?

• A. Auxetic growth
• B. Accretionary growth
• C. Multiplicative growth
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Auxetic growth

• Auxesis (increase; grow) refers to growth from an increase in cell size rather than an increase in the number of cells. Auxetic growth occurs in certain tissues, such as muscle, of the higher animals as well as in some organisms, such as nematodes, tunicates, and rotifers.
• Hence Auxetic growth can be related to the growth of muscle fiber(muscle cell) i.e increase in cell size without any cell division.
• So, the correct answer is 'Auxetic growth'.
