(d) Production of callus tissue between the cells
of stock and scion



  1. In which one of the following there is no
    differentiation of bark, sapwood and heartwood?
    (a) Ashoka (b) Neem
    (c) Mango (d) Date Palm

  2. The total time in which growth occurs is called
    (a) Phase of maturation
    (b) Phase of cell division
    (c) Phase of elongation
    (d) Grand period of growth

  3. After two or three years of secondary growth, the
    cortex in dicot root
    (a) Remains intact
    (b) Is completely sloughed away
    (c) Is largely lost
    (d) Is converted into cork

  4. Mature wood stem has a peripheral waterproof
    tissue with opening in the form of scars on its
    surface, they are
    (a) Epidermal tissue (b) Guard cells
    (c) Lenticels (d) Stomata

  5. Vascular cambium forms xylem on inner side and
    phloem on outer side due to
    (a) Effect of gravity
    (b) Shearing force of wind
    (c) Intrafascicular nature
    (d) Differential action of hormone

  6. (d) Pro meristems are the group of cells which
    represent early stages of meristematic cells
    which are present in the embryonic shoots and
    root apices which give rise to primary meristem.

  7. (b) Meristematic cells are thin walled, nucleate
    and with dense cytoplasm.
    3. (b) Root apical meristem is sub apical due to
    presence of root cap, where as shoot apical
    meristem is apical.
    4. (a) Intercalary meristems are derived from the
    permanent tissues. They are situated at internodes
    or stem regions where the leaves attach.
    5. (d) Secondary meristem are derived from
    the permanent tissues. Permanent tissues
    differentiates into secondary meristem.
    6. (b) Intercalary meristem is situated at the
    internodes of stem where the leaves arise hence
    they are involved in the elongation of stem in
    monocots.
    7. (a) Parenchyma is the simple tissue which is
    present in the soft parts of the plants hence it is
    present at the apices of the shoot which is soft and
    tender.
    8. (a)
    9. (a) Primary growth is the increase in length of
    shoot and root which is brought about by apical
    meristem.
    10. (d) Secondary meristems arise from the permanent
    tissues always.
