Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Apical meristems develop into three types of specialized tissues
A
Epidermal-outer protective covering
B
Ground-filler and carries out functions
C
Vascular-transport
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are three primary meristems: the protoderm, which will become the epidermis; the ground meristem, which will form the ground tissues comprising parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma cells; and the procambium, which will become the vascular tissues (xylem and phloem).

Detailed explanation-2: -The shoot apical meristem produces the three primary meristems: procambium, ground meristem, and protoderm.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vascular plants differ from bryophytes in possessing two types of apical meristem, those of the shoot and root. Woody vascular plants possess two additional forms of meristematic tissues, the vascular and cork cambia.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The procambium is the primary meristem that gives rise to primary vascular tissues-primary xylem and primary phloem, and the pericycle.

Detailed explanation-5: -The procambium is a meristematic tissue concerned with providing the primary tissues of the vascular system; the cambium proper is the continuous cylinder of meristematic cells responsible for producing the new vascular tissues in mature stems and roots. The cork cambium, or phellogen, produces the protective…
