- Is the seedling shown on the right a monocot or eudicot? How can you tell?arrow_forwardWhat might be an advantage of having the apical meristem near to the ground?arrow_forwardIf the shoot apical meristem gets broken off due to bad weather or damage, what type of tree growth you expect to observe in the immediate future? The tree would grow wider instead of taller. The tree would not show any growth but would stay healthy and alive. The tree roots would grow deeper within the soil, but no growth would occur above ground. The tree would grow taller instead of wider. The tree growth would be uneven in many different directions.arrow_forward
