Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Meristems are regions in plants consisting entirely of undifferentiated cells (meristematic cells) that have the potential to divide and differentiate into various types of plant cells. They do not contain a mixture of differentiated and undifferentiated cells; rather, they are purely undifferentiated cells that can give rise to differentiated cells.
