This question was posed to me during an interview.

My question is from Flowering Plants Anatomy in portion Anatomy of Flowering Plants of Biology – Class 11

Answer 1

Correct answer is (d) Simple permanent tissues and complex permanent tissues are classified based on their intercellular gaps

Easy explanation: Permanent cells are formed from the meristem tissues that gradually lose their ability to divide and perform few other specific functions. Process by which meristem tissues gradually change to permanent tissues is called Differentiation. Permanent tissues are classified into simple and complex permanent tissues. Simple permanent tissues and complex permanent tissues are classified based on their similarity in structure.
