Apical, intercalary and lateral meristems are differentiated on the basis of
origin
function
position
development
Correct Answer :
C. position
Apical, intercalary and lateral meristems are differentiated on the basis of position. Apical meristem is situated at the shoot apex and the root apex. Intercalary meristem is present at the base of internodes, e.g., in grasses or at the base of leaves e.g., in Pinus or at the base of nodes, e.g., mint. Lateral meristems are present along the lateral sides of stem and roots.
