Updated On: Jul 28, 2022
- least mitotic activity in the root apex
- least mitotic activity in the shoot apex
- maximum mitotic activity in the root apex
- maximum mitotic activity in the shoot apex
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Quiescent centre is an area at the top of the root apical meristem where the cells have least mitotic activity i.e., the rate of cell division is lower than in surrounding tissue.

Cell Cycle
The sequence of growth and division of a cell, and consists of a series of biological processes, particularly the resting phase (G0), the interphase (G1, S, G2), and cell division (i.e. mitosis and cytokinesis)
