The correct Answer is:
To rearrange the zones of the root as seen in a vertical section, we need to understand the order in which these zones appear from the tip of the root to the base. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Zones**: We have the following zones to arrange: - A. Root hair zone - B. Zone of meristems - C. Root cap zone - D. Zone of maturation - E. Zone of elongation 2. **Understand the Structure of the Root**: In a vertical section of the root, the zones are arranged in a specific order from the tip of the root downwards. 3. **Order of the Zones**: - **Root Cap Zone (C)**: This is the first zone at the very tip of the root. It protects the root as it pushes through the soil. - **Zone of Meristems (B)**: Just behind the root cap, this zone contains actively dividing cells that contribute to root growth. - **Zone of Elongation (E)**: Following the meristematic zone, this area is where the cells elongate, allowing the root to grow longer. - **Root Hair Zone (A)**: After elongation, the root hair zone is where root hairs develop to increase surface area for water and nutrient absorption. - **Zone of Maturation (D)**: This is the final zone where cells differentiate and mature into various types of root cells. 4. **Final Arrangement**: Based on the above understanding, the correct order from the tip of the root to the base is: - C (Root cap zone) - B (Zone of meristems) - E (Zone of elongation) - A (Root hair zone) - D (Zone of maturation) 5. **Select the Correct Option**: The correct sequence is C, B, E, A, D, which corresponds to option A. ### Final Answer: The correct order of the zones in the root from the tip to the base is: **C, B, E, A, D** (Option A).
