Question

Intercalary meristems are found in which part of the plant?

Mr. NARESH KUMAR K · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: [A] 
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Meristems in plants
	**Related Topics**: Plant growth, types of meristematic tissues
	**Prerequisites**: Understanding of plant anatomy and growth regions
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
		- Intercalary meristems are a type of meristematic tissue in plants.
		- They are responsible for the growth of certain plant parts.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. Identify the location of intercalary meristems in plants.
		Reasoning: Intercalary meristems play a critical role in the elongation of plant organs.
		Formula/Rule: N/A
	2. Determine where these types of meristems are typically found.
		Working: Intercalary meristems are usually located at the base of leaves and internodes, allowing for growth in these specific areas.
		Key Point: They are distinct from apical and lateral meristems.
	3. Conclude on the correct answer based on the knowledge of plant anatomy.
		Result: Intercalary meristems are found at the base of leaves and internodes.
		Verification: The other options do not describe the location of intercalary meristems accurately.
## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] ✓: Correct, intercalary meristems are indeed located at the base of leaves and internodes, facilitating their growth.
[B] :x: Incorrect, root tips contain apical meristems, not intercalary meristems.
[C] :x: Incorrect, shoot tips also contain apical meristems, not intercalary ones.
[D] :x: Incorrect, vascular cambium is a type of lateral meristem, not intercalary.
## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1. Confusing intercalary meristems with apical meristems: Remember that intercalary meristems are specifically at the base of leaves and internodes.
		2. Overlooking the role of different types of meristems in plant growth: Each type of meristem has a unique location and function.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1. Use diagrams of plant anatomy to visualize where different meristems are located.
		2. Remember the function of intercalary meristems: they primarily contribute to the elongation of internodes and the growth of leaves.
