Question

Match List - I with List - II.

List - I		List - II
(a)	Cells with active cell division capacity	(i)	Vascular tissues
(b)	Tissue having all cells similar in structure and function	(ii)	Meristematic tissue
(c)	Tissue having different types of cells	(iii)	Sclereids
(d)	Dead cells with highly thickened walls and narrow lumen	(iv)	Simple tissue

Select the correct answer from the options given below

• A. (iii) (ii) (iv) (i)
• B. (ii) (iv) (i) (iii)
• C. (iv) (iii) (ii) (i)
• D. (i) (ii) (iii) (iv)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve this question, we'll match each type of tissue or cell from List I with the corresponding description from List II. Here's the step-by-step reasoning:

1. Cells with active cell division capacity: These are cells that continuously divide to form new cells. Such cells are typically found in the meristematic tissue, which is responsible for the plant's growth.
   • Match: (a) — (ii) Meristematic tissue
2. Tissue having all cells similar in structure and function: These tissues are called simple tissues where all the cells look similar and perform the same function.
   • Match: (b) — (iv) Simple tissue
3. Tissue having different types of cells: Vascular tissues are composed of multiple types of cells, each specialized for different functions (e.g., xylem and phloem).
   • Match: (c) — (i) Vascular tissues
4. Dead cells with highly thickened walls and narrow lumen: These are characteristics of sclereids, which are a type of sclerenchyma cells. They provide mechanical support.
   • Match: (d) — (iii) Sclereids

Based on the above reasoning, the correct option is:

• (a) — (ii) Meristematic tissue
• (b) — (iv) Simple tissue
• (c) — (i) Vascular tissues
• (d) — (iii) Sclereids

Hence, the correct answer is: (ii) (iv) (i) (iii)
