The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Statement**: The statement claims that all cells of a plant are descendants of the zygote. We need to determine if this is true or false. 2. **Defining Key Terms**: - **Descendants**: In this context, it means that all cells in the plant originate from the zygote. - **Zygote**: This is the fertilized egg that forms when the male and female gametes fuse during fertilization. 3. **Process of Fertilization**: - Fertilization occurs when the male gamete (sperm) and the female gamete (egg) unite. - This fusion results in the formation of a zygote. 4. **Development from Zygote**: - After fertilization, the zygote undergoes a series of cell divisions. - These divisions are precise and ordered, leading to the development of the embryo. 5. **Formation of Plant Structures**: - The embryo formed from the zygote will eventually differentiate into various parts of the plant, including roots, stems, leaves, and flowers. - All these cells are derived from the original zygote through continuous cell division and differentiation. 6. **Conclusion**: Since all cells of the plant originate from the zygote through this process of division and differentiation, the statement is true. **Final Answer**: The statement "All cells of a plant are descendants of the zygote" is **True**. ---
