DNA or Chromosomes

Each meristematic cell differentiates into a specific cell type as a result of various signals and cues from its surrounding environment. These signals include hormones, such as auxins and cytokinins, as well as physical and chemical signals from neighboring cells. The specific combination and intensity of these signals determine the fate of the meristematic cell, leading it to differentiate into a specific cell type with specialized functions.

What is the process by which meristems are continually replenished?
One meristem cell undergoes cell division to separate into two cells. One cell remains meristematic, and the other is free to differentiate and contribute to the plant body. Through this process, meristems are continually replenished/constantly renewed.
What cells are responsible for cell division and growth in plants?
The Meristematic cell is capable of continued cell division in plants.
Why do meristematic cells have large nuclei?
For cell division to take place
What are the tissue cells of a plant organ?
Plant tissue systems fall into one of two general types: meristematic tissue and permanent (or non-meristematic) tissue. Cells of the meristematic tissue are found in meristems, which are plant regions of continuous cell division and growth.
What is an advantage of using pluripotent cells instead of multi potent cells for medical treatments?
Pluripotent cell can differentiate into almost any type of cell.
What is a type of cell that does divide actively?
A meristematic cell
What is meant when people say that cells in multicellular organisms are specialized?
it means that cells differentiate from one general type into it's specific type. For example, a meristematic cell in a plant turning into a dermis tissue cell, or a human blastula cell eventually specializing into a skin cell

Meristematic lateral location in plant cell?
plants
Which cell do plants use in asexual reproduction?
Meristematic cells
What cells are responsible for cell division and growth in plants?
The Meristematic cell is capable of continued cell division in plants.
Why do meristematic cells have large nuclei?
For cell division to take place
Why do meristematic tissues lack vacuoles?
Meristematic tissues are tissues present in areas of rapid division of the plant like the root stem and leaves.The presence of a vacuole will not let them divide and hence they dont have vacuoles. the meristematic cell divides to form 1 permanent cell with a vacuole and another meristematic cell and so the cycle goes on .

Cell that can differentiate throughout life?
stem cell

Pluripotent cell can differentiate into almost any type of cell.
