Apical and intercalary meristems are primary meristems because
they occur in the mature region of roots and shoots of many plants.
they made up of different kinds of tissues.
they involved in secondary growth.
they appear early in life of a plant and contribute to the formation of the primary plant body.
Correct Answer :
D. they appear early in life of a plant and contribute to the formation of the primary plant body.
Primary meristems are those meristems which originate from the embryonic meristem. They are located at the tips of stems, roots and appendages. Apical and intercalary meristems are primary meristem because they appear early in life of a plant and contribute to the formation of the primary plant body.
