Meristems are able to differentiate into other tissues
Explanation:
The presence of meristems explains the ability of plants to regenerate from cuttings.
<em>Meristems or meristematic tissues consist of a group of actively dividing, undifferentiated cells. They posses the ability to enlarge, stretch and differentiate into other types of cells or organs as they mature.</em>
Meristems are of three types:
Apical meristems which consists of shoot apical meristems that give rise to organs like leaves and flowers and root apical meristems that give rise to roots.
Intercalary meristems which is specific to the stems of monocots and responsible for rapid stem elongation as well as leaf regrowth in some plant species.
Floral meristems which is the transformation of apical meristems in flowers and responsible for the development of flower structures like sepal, petals, etc.
Darwin's theory of biological evolution tells us that all life on earth may have originated from a single, relatively simple reproducing creature living in the distant past. This idea is based on many observations, one of which is that when living things reproduce, children are often born with random new traits.
