Question

new plant organs are formed throughout the life of a plant by clusters of embryonic cells known as meristem given this information, which of the following must be true about plant development?
○a. plant development continues throughout the life of a plant
○b. plant development stops when a plant reaches maturity
○c. plants do not develop because their cells are unable to differentiate

Explanation:

题目中提到新的植物器官在植物的一生中都由分生组织（meristem）形成。这意味着植物的发育在其一生中持续进行。选项B说植物成熟后发育停止，与题干信息矛盾；选项C说植物不发育，因为细胞不能分化，与题干中器官不断形成矛盾；选项D说植物只在完全休眠时发育，也不符合题干中“throughout the life”的描述。

Answer:

A. Plant development continues throughout the life of a plant
