During the formation of gametophytes and embryo in angiosperms, the cells undergo two types of cell divisions. The diagram given below is a representation of them. The red lines indicate their plane of division. What is the correct type of X and Y?

Question

During the formation of gametophytes and embryo in angiosperms, the cells undergo two types of cell divisions. The diagram given below is a representation of them. The red lines indicate their plane of division. What is the correct type of X and Y? <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="Question" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/q/nta/b-hf3d8fejmyno.png" /> (A) X is periclinal division, while Y is an anticlinal division (B) X is anticlinal division while Y is an periclinal division (C) Both X and Y are periclinal divisions (D) Both X and Y are anticlinal division

Periclinal division is a type of division in which the plane of division is parallel to the plane of the tissue. Anticlinal division is a type of division in which the plane of division is perpendicular to the plane of the tissues. Due to the periclinal division, we get many rows of cells.

Q. During the formation of gametophytes and embryo in angiosperms, the cells undergo two types of cell divisions. The diagram given below is a representation of them. The red lines indicate their plane of division. What is the correct type of X and Y?

X is periclinal division, while Y is an anticlinal division

X is anticlinal division while Y is an periclinal division

Both X and Y are periclinal divisions

Both X and Y are anticlinal division

Periclinal division is a type of division in which the plane of division is parallel to the plane of the tissue. Anticlinal division is a type of division in which the plane of division is perpendicular to the plane of the tissues. Due to the periclinal division, we get many rows of cells.
