Statement I: | The root apical meristem and the shoot apical meristem are responsible for the primary growth of the plants and cause the increase in the girth of the organs in which they are active. |
Statement II: | In dicotyledonous plants and gymnosperms, the lateral meristems, vascular cambium and cork-cambium principally contribute to the elongation of the plants along their axis. |
I: | Turgidity of cells helps in extension growth. |
II: | Water provides the medium for enzymatic activities needed for growth. |
III: | Oxygen helps in releasing metabolic energy essential for growth activities. |
IV: | Nutrients (macro and micro essential elements) are required for the synthesis of protoplasm and act as source of energy. |
Consider the given two statements:
I: | Differentiation in plants is open. |
II: | Cells/tissues arising out of the same meristem have different structures at maturity. |
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
3. I is correct but II is incorrect
4. I is incorrect but II is correct
In plants, the living differentiated cells, have lost the capacity of division under certain conditions. This phenomenon is termed as:
1. | Dedifferentiation | 2. | Proto-differentiation |
3. | Redifferentiation | 4. | Secondary differentiation |
1. | Differentiation | 2. | De-differentiation |
3. | Re-differentiation | 4. | Anti-differentiation |
A. | Differentiation | - | The formation of xylem and phloem from meristematic tissue |
B. | Dedifferentiation | - | Formation of secondary xylem |
I: | it would gain a lot of protoplasm. |
II: | it develops a very strong, elastic, lignocellulosic secondary cell walls. |
I: | Formation of a tumour. |
II: | Parenchyma cells made to divide under controlled laboratory conditions during plant tissue culture. |
1. | Only I | 2. | Only II |
3. | Both I and II | 4. | Neither I nor II |
