Answer 2

Answer:

Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of an assertion.

Explanation:

Meristematic Tissue

• -These types of cells are in the state of division or they have the capacity to undergo repeated divisions.
• They are spherical, oval, or polygonal in shape without any intercellular spaces.
• Cells are thin with large nuclei.
• These tissues are found in the apical part of plants such as the tip of the stem and root.

Permanent Tissue

• They consist of mature cells.
• The cells do not undergo any divisions.
• Cell walls may be thin or thick.
• Xylem and Phloem are the permanent tissues.

By analyzing the above pieces of information, we can conclude that the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion, however, both of the statements are true.
