Question
Which of the following statements about apical meristems is FALSE?A. Apical meristems are found in roots, shoots and axillary buds.B. Apical meristems are protected by tissues made from differentiated cells produced by the meristem.C. The pattern of nodes is laid down by the shoot apical meristem like the pattern of branch roots is laiddown by the root apical meristem.D. The root apical meristem contains a region called the quiescent center.E. All apical meristems produce primary growth
Solution
To answer this question, we need to go through each statement one by one and determine if it's true or false based on our knowledge of apical meristems.
A. Apical meristems are found in roots, shoots and axillary buds. - This statement is TRUE. Apical meristems are indeed found in these locations.
B. Apical meristems are protected by tissues made from differentiated cells produced by the meristem. - This statement is TRUE. The meristem produces cells that differentiate into various types of tissues, some of which serve to protect the meristem.
C. The pattern of nodes is laid down by the shoot apical meristem like the pattern of branch roots is laid down by the root apical meristem. - This statement is TRUE. The shoot apical meristem determines the pattern of nodes, while the root apical meristem determines the pattern of branch roots.
D. The root apical meristem contains a region called the quiescent center. - This statement is TRUE. The quiescent center is a region within the root apical meristem that contains cells that divide less frequently.
E. All apical meristems produce primary growth. - This statement is FALSE. While it's true that apical meristems are responsible for primary growth, not all apical meristems produce primary growth. Some, known as lateral meristems, produce secondary growth.
