The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which plant cells do not have nuclei, we can analyze each option provided: 1. **Understand the Question**: We are looking for plant cells that are living but do not possess a nucleus in their mature stage. 2. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Option (a) Cambium**: Cambium is a type of meristematic tissue that is actively dividing and contains nuclei. Therefore, this option does not fit the criteria. - **Option (b) Xylem vessel elements**: Xylem vessel elements are specialized cells that are involved in the conduction of water. In their mature form, they lose their nuclei and are considered living cells that function without a nucleus. This option fits the criteria. - **Option (c) Root hairs**: Root hairs are extensions of root epidermal cells and are living cells that contain nuclei. Thus, this option does not fit the criteria. - **Option (d) Companion cells**: Companion cells are associated with sieve tube elements in phloem and are living cells that contain nuclei. Therefore, this option does not fit the criteria. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the only plant cells that are living but do not possess nuclei in their mature stage are the **Xylem vessel elements**. **Final Answer**: (b) Xylem vessel elements ---
