Answers

Answered by tania4

a. Apical meristem is the answer.

kannu17: actually my teacher says that the right answer is intercalary meristem.. so i need some proof to prove him wrong

kannu17: so pls help

tania4: the apical meristem is a part of permanent tissue which help to grow lenght of plant

tania4: and the intercalary helps in growth of internodes of plant

tania4: so that is why I think that the ans is apical

kannu17: OK

kannu17: thanks

tania4: :)

kannu17: dear.. it's correct answer is intercalary meristem.. not apical meristem..

kannu17: I'm 100℅ sure now..

Option: (c)

Explanation:

Different plants have different lengths of the leaf petiole and this is determined by the activity of the intercalary meristems.

Meristems have the ‘ability to divide and grow’. They are immature cells. The intercalary meristems, as the name implies, is locate in between the internodes or leaf bases.

At the base of the leaves, these cells divide and promote the growth of leaves and determine the length of the petiole. They also determine the length of internodes.
