Question

Fascicular, interfascicular and extra-stelar cambium together constitute [AMU 1991]
A) Lateral meristem
B) Apical meristem
C) Intercalary meristem
D) Ground meristem

Answer 1

The answer to your question is D

Answer 2

Fascicular, interfascicular and extra-stelar cambium together constitute [AMU 1991] is A) Lateral meristem

A) Lateral meristem:

Secondary meristems include Fascicular vascular cambium, inter-fascicular cambium, and extra-stellar (cork cambium). They are found in mature root and shoot regions. Secondary tissues are produced by the secondary meristem.

Explanation for incorrect answer:

B) Apical meristem:

Apical meristems are responsible for the extension of the roots and shoots, as well as forming the primary plant body. So this is the wrong answer.

C) Intercalary meristem:

The intercalary meristem is a type of meristematic tissue found at the base of monocot nodes and leaf blades. So this is the wrong answer.

D) Ground meristem:

An area of primary meristematic tissue that develops into the pith and cortex and emerges from and immediately behind the apical meristem. So this is the wrong answer.

Hence, Lateral meristem is made up of fascicular, interfascicular, and extra-stelar cambium.
