Answer» <html><body><p><strong>Explanation:</strong></p><p>Properties of Meristematic Cells</p><p></p><p>Cells within meristematic <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/tissues-18036" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TISSUES">TISSUES</a> have special characteristics that make them unique when compared to cells in mature, specialized plant tissue. Cells within meristematic tissue are self-renewing, meaning that every time they divide, one new cell remains meristematic, while the second heads off to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/become-389953" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BECOME">BECOME</a> a programmed or specialized mature cell.</p><p></p><p></p><p>Additionally, all cells within meristematic tissue are living, while other plant tissue can be made of both living and dead cells. Meristematic cells have thin cell walls, small or no vacuoles, which are stored organelles, and large <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/prominent-1169459" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PROMINENT">PROMINENT</a> nucleus. This compares to the thick walls and small nucleus of programmed cells, which also have one or more large vacuoles. Also, meristematic cells contain a significant volume of dense liquid, while specialized cells have only a small quantity of thin liquid. </p><p></p><p></p><p>Except for the statement that the cells possess well-developed mitochondria, plastids, and endoplasmic reticulum all the other statements are true.</p><p></p><p></p><p>So the correct option is 'Four'.</p><p></p><p>December <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/26-298265" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about 26">26</a>, 2019Toppr</p><p></p><p></p><p></p></body></html>
