Meristematic tissues in plants are
(a) localised and permanent
(b) not limited to certain regions
(c) localised and dividing cells
(d) growing in volume
Answer - (c)
Solution: Meristematic tissue is made up of living cells. They have the capability to divide actively. The growth in plants is restricted to certain regions because meristematic cells are localised and not distributed throughout the plant body. The growth due to meristematic cells occurs by an increase in number of cells and not by increase in volume of existing cells.
The correct option is – (c)- localised and dividing cells
