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: -Apical meristems, which are located at the tips of shoots and roots in all vascular plants, give rise to three types of primary meristems, which in turn produce the mature primary tissues of the plant.

Detailed explanation-5: -The root apical meristem (RAM) is the region within the root tip from which all primary root tissues and the root cap are derived. The RAM consists of many cells that are actively engaged in division, growth and differentiation.
