Meristems are regions of what?
These regions, where cells continuously divide, are where plant growth originates.
What is the function of ground meristem?
To divide by mitosis and produce new cells which will then differentiate into various new specialised tissues.
What happens in meristem regions of plants?
These regions, where cells continuously divide, are where plant growth originates.
How does growth take place in a plant and where it take place in a plant?
The growth in plants takes place in root and shoot apices. Some intercallary meristem cells also divide and add to growth.
What happens in primary growth of a vascular plant?
Cells divide very rapidly at root and shoot apices
When plant cells divide why does growth only continue at the tip of the plant?
Because the apical parts in plants have meristematic cells without differentiation into permanent cells. Also apical buds having active cell division have lesser quantity of growth promoting hormones like IAA and cytokinins etc.
When plant cells divide what do they form?
It form into two different cells
What is the function of apical meristem?
Apical meristem is found at the tip of the root and shoot and is made of cells that divide at a rapid pace. The apical meristem helps the plant to grow up above the soil and down into the ground. This growth is called primary growth.
What creates cells and aids in plant growth?
meristematic tissue (:
What are some types of cells that have been transformed?
transformed cell lines divide more rapidly and do not require attachment to surface for growth, the loose contact inhibition, when reintroduced to animals may form tumours
What type of organisms use meiosis to divide?
plant and animal cells
What type organisms use meiosis to divide?
plant and animal cells
