Plant tissues are classified into two main groups, meristematic and permanent, mainly on the basis of:
1. their location
2. time of their origin during the plant life
3. capability of division
4. degree of differentiation

During the formation of primary plant body, dermal tissue, ground tissue and vascular tissue are produced by:
1. Primary meristems
2. Secondary meristems
3. Both primary and secondary meristems
4. Neither primary nor secondary meristems
Regarding the guard cells:
| 1. | walls away from the stomatal pores are thin and those towards the stomatal pores are thick |
| 2. | walls away from the stomatal pores are thick and those towards the stomatal pores are thin |
| 3. | chloroplasts are mostly absent |
| 4. | play no role in the regulation of opening and closing of stomata |
A simple plant tissue is characterized by:
1. continued cell division
2. presence of only living cells
3. cells with chloroplasts
4. presence of only one type of cells
All the following statements regarding the anatomy of a typical dicotyledonous root are correct except:
| 1. | Many cells of the epiblema protrude in the form of unicellular root hairs. |
| 2. | The innermost layer of the cortex is called as the endodermis. |
| 3. | Pericycle is made up of collenchymatous cells. |
| 4. | Parenchymatous conjunctive tissue lies between the xylem and phloem. |
