What is the Ability of a Plant to Continue to Grow

Question

What is the ability of a plant to continue to grow throughout its lifetime?
A) determinate growth
B) indeterminate growth
C) secondary growth
D) vernalization

Accepted Answer

Indeterminate growth is the ability of a plant to continue to grow throughout its lifetime. This is in contrast to determinate growth, where the plant stops growing after reaching maturity or a certain size. Secondary growth and vernalization are not related to the ability to continue growing throughout a plant's lifetime.
