Anatomy of Flowering Plants - Quiz 1

During the formation of the primary plant body, specific regions of the apical meristem produce –

• Dermal tissues

• Ground tissues

• Vascular tissues

• All

Apical meristems and intercalary meristem are primary meristem because they –

• Are disintegrated after primary growth of plant

• Are disintegrated after secondary growth of plant

• Appear early in life of a plant and contribute to the formation of the primary plant body

• None

Primary tissues of a plant

• Add to the length of roots and shoots

• Add to the diameter of existing roots and shoots

• Are found only in the embryo

• Are found only in the seedling

Secondary tissues of a plant –

• Add to the length of roots and shoots

• Add to the diameter of existing roots and shoots

• Are found only in the embryo

• Are found only in the seedling

Secondary tissues are produced by all except –

• Fascicular cambium

• Interfascicular cambium

• Apical meristem

• Phellogen

Permanent tissue consists of cells having no power of cell division. Such tissues are formed by –

• Primary meristem

• Cork cambium

• Fascicular and interfascicular cambium

• All

Which one is correct about intercalary meristem?

• It occurs between mature tissues

• It occurs in grasses and regenerate parts removed by grazing herbivores

• It is a primary meristem

• All

All are lateral meristems except –

• Fascicular / vascular cambium

• Interfascicular cambium

• Apical and intercalary meristem

• Phellogen

Which one produces primary tissues?

• Apical meristem

• Root apical meristem

• Shoot apical meristem

• Lateral meristem

Meristems are present in –

• Root apex and shoot apex

• Bases of leaves

• Axillary buds

• All
