Q. Identify $A$ and $B$ in the given figure and choose the correct option accordingly

A) A-Root apical meristem; B-Shoot apical meristem
B) A-Shoot apical meristem; B-Root apical meristem
C) A-Apical tissue; B-Radicle tissue
D) A-Radicle tissue; B-Apical tissue
Explanation

[image:15_image28.png] Diagrammatic representation of locations of root apical meristem, shoot apical meristem and vascular cambium. Arrows exhibit the direction of growth of cells and organ. Vascular cambium $\Rightarrow$ Responsible for secondary growth (increases girth) Shoot and root apical $\Rightarrow$ Responsible for primary growth meristem (increases height)
