Q. Which of the following plant cells will show totipotency ?

Anatomy of Flowering Plants

Solution:

Meristems are localised regions of active mitotic cell division in plants, from which permanent tissue is derived. New cells formed by activity of a meristem become various modified to form characteristic tissues of the adult (e.g., epidermis, cortex, vascular tissue etc). Meristematic cells have the capacity to show totipotency, i.e., they can divide and give rise to a new individual under artificial conditions.
