Question
A biochemical process in plants by which meristematic cells undergo changes and transform into permanent cells is
Options:
A .  Differentiation
B .  Dedifferentiation
C .  Redifferentiation            
D .  all the above
Answer: Option A
:
A
The cells derived from root apical and shoot-apical meristems and cambium differentiate and mature to perform specific functions. This act leading to maturation is termed asdifferentiation.During differentiation, cells undergo few to major structural changes both in their cell walls and protoplasm. For example, to form a tracheary element, the cells would lose their protoplasm. They also develops a very strong, elastic, lignocellulosic secondary cell walls, to carry water to long distances even under extreme tension.
