2. Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct
3. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect
4. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct
| 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. |

Consider the given two statements:
| Assertion (A): | Growth, at the cellular level, is measured by a variety of parameters, some of which are: increase in fresh weight, dry weight, length, area, volume and cell number. |
| Reason (R): | Growth, at a cellular level, is principally a consequence of an increase in the amount of protoplasm, and increase in protoplasm is difficult to measure directly. |
