Question

Quiescent centre is found in plants at

B VENKAT · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: A
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Plant Anatomy
	**Related Topics**: Root structure, Meristematic tissue
	**Prerequisites**: Basic knowledge of plant tissue types
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	The question asks about the location of the quiescent center in plants.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. Recall the definition and location of the quiescent center.
		Reasoning: The quiescent center is a region of slow-dividing cells in the root apical meristem.
		Formula/Rule: N/A
	2. Identify the correct option based on the location.
		Working: The quiescent center is specifically found in the root tip.
		Key Point: The quiescent center protects the stem cells of the root meristem.
	3. Final step:
		Result: The correct answer is 'Root tip'.
		Verification: Knowledge of plant biology confirms the answer.
 ## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] ✓: The quiescent center is a specific region of cells in the root tip with low mitotic activity.
[B] :x: Cambium is a lateral meristem involved in secondary growth, not related to the quiescent center.
[C] :x: The shoot tip contains the shoot apical meristem, not the quiescent center.
[D] :x:  'Tip' is too vague. While the root tip does contain the quiescent center the options are designed for selection of the root tip itself.
 ## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1.[Error 1]: Confusing root tip with shoot tip. [How to avoid]: Review the basic structure of roots and shoots.
		2.[Error 2]: Not knowing the function of a quiescent center. [How to avoid]: Study the different meristematic regions in plants.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1.[Helpful shortcut]: Remember that the quiescent center is part of the root apical meristem.
		2.[Memory aid]: Think of 'quiescent' as 'quiet', indicating slow cell division in the root tip.
