Detailed explanation-3: -Assertion: Apical and intercalary meristems contribute to the growth in length while the lateral meristems bring an increase in the girth of the plant. Reason: Apical and intercalary meristems always increase the height of the plants.

Detailed explanation-4: -Solution : Both apical meristem and intecalary meristems are primary meristems, because they appear early in life of a plant and contribute to the formation of the primary plant body.

Detailed explanation-5: -Both the apical meristem and the intercalary meristem are referred to as “primary” meristems since they emerge early in a plant’s life and aid in the development of the major plant body.
