Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cells divide to form new cells primarily in the apical meristem, which is located at the tip of the root, but also in the zone of division just behind the meristem. The cells in the zone of elongation and maturation undergo elongation and differentiation, respectively, but do not actively divide. Therefore, choice B is the best answer as it includes both regions where new cells are actively dividing.
