Summary Introduction

To explain: The number of times must each meristem cell divide to produce the 100 cells in the given observation.

Introduction: The plants are mainly multicellular, predominantly photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae. The meristem is a tissue in the plants that consists of undifferentiated cells, which is capable of cell division.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

The meristem is classified by their location in the plant as lateral (in vascular and cork cambia), apical (located at shoot and root tips), and intercalary (at internodes). The root apical meristem is also called root apex. The root apical meristem is a small region at the tip of root in which all cells have the ability of repeated division and from which all the primary root tissues are derived.

Each time a meristem cell divides, one daughter cell contributes to a new tissue and others continue as meristem cell. Therefore, each meristem cell would have to divide 10 times for every 100 root cap cells that need to be replaced.
