Question

Appearance of vegetative propagules from the nodes of plants such as sugarcane and ginger is mainly because (a) nodes are shorter than intemodes (b) nodes have meristematic cells (c) nodes are located near the soil (d) nodes have non-photosynthetic cells.

(b) nodes have meristematic cells

Doubtly AI · Answer

Answer: (b) nodes have meristematic cells Vegetative propagules such as buds arise from the nodes of modified stems (the sugarcane stem, the rhizome of ginger) because the nodes carry axillary buds made of meristematic cells. These cells can divide actively and differentiate into new shoots and roots, giving rise to a new plant. The length of nodes, their nearness to the soil, or being non-photosynthetic does not give them the power to form new plants; only actively dividing meristematic tissue can.
