Question

what are similarities between apical meristem and lateral meristem​

Answer 1

Primary or apical meristem is the tissue from which the main stem of a plant arises while lateral meristem is the one from which the plant grows laterally. The apical meristem is also called as the growing tip and it is found in growing buds and growing roots.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Apical meristem is present at the growing

tips of stems and roots and increases the

length of the stem and the root. The girth of

the stem or root increases due to lateral

meristem (cambium).

Cells of meristematic tissue are very active,

they have dense cytoplasm, thin cellulose walls

and prominent nuclei. They lack vacuoles.
