Statement 1: In a vessel, septa among the adjoining cells get dissolved.
Statement 2: Companion cells are component of phloem.
Statement 1: The quiescent centre acts as a reservoir of relatively resistant cells, which constitute a
permanent source of active initials.
Statement 2: The cells of the inactive region of quiescent centre become active when the previous
active initials get damaged.

Statement 2: Passage cells are found in the root endodermis.
Statement 1: Apical and intercalary meristems contribute to the growth in length while the lateral
meristems bring increase in girth in maize.
