Select a wrong statement about permanent tissuesThe cells of these tissues lose the power to divideThey have permanent shape and to perform permanent functionsThe cells of these tissues are deadThe cells may be thin walled or thick walled
Solution
The wrong statement about permanent tissues is "The cells of these tissues are dead". While some permanent tissues do contain dead cells (like the xylem in plants), not all cells in permanent tissues are dead. Many are very much alive and perform vital functions for the organism.
