Worked practice questions

As per your syllabus, which meristem is located at the TIPS of roots and shoots — responsible for increase in LENGTH?

  1. Intercalary meristem
  2. Permanent meristem
  3. Apical meristem
  4. Lateral meristem
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Apical meristem

As per your syllabus, apical meristem at root/shoot tips enables growth in length. Lateral gives girth; intercalary gives regrowth.

As per your syllabus, which meristem allows GRASS to regrow after being cut or grazed — and is located at the BASE of internodes / just above nodes?

  1. Apical meristem
  2. Sclerenchyma
  3. Lateral meristem
  4. Intercalary meristem
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Intercalary meristem

As per your syllabus, intercalary meristem at node bases enables regrowth in grasses (mown lawn keeps coming back). Apical/lateral are differently located.

As per your syllabus, what is the PROCESS by which meristematic cells become permanent tissues — gaining specialised structure + function?

  1. Regeneration
  2. Dedifferentiation
  3. Differentiation
  4. Mitosis
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Differentiation

As per your syllabus, differentiation = meristematic cells become specialised permanent tissues. Dedifferentiation is the reverse (rare); mitosis is just division.
