Which of the Following Cell Types is Least Likely to Be

Question

Which of the following cell types is least likely to be capable of cell division?
A)mesophyll cell in a developing leaf
B)parenchyma cell 2 mm from the tip of a root
C)parenchyma cell in a dormant axillary bud
D)functional tracheid cell in a stem

Accepted Answer

Functional tracheid cells in a stem are involved in water transport and are highly specialized. They have thickened cell walls and lack a nucleus, making them incapable of cell division. On the other hand, mesophyll cells, parenchyma cells, and bud cells have the potential to undergo cell division as they are involved in growth and development.
