Hello, so I attempted to clone a cabbage by cutting the stem into 3 pieces, planting them in separate pots, and letting them gro

w. As a result the top part of the stem grew the most (had lots of leaves and long roots). The middle part had some leaves but not that as many as the top stem part. The bottom part didn’t have any leaves but had some roots.
I was wondering if someone could explain these results. Do they have something to do with the Xylem or Phloem? Or the meristems? Or even the photosynthetic processe of the plant (More leaves=More photosynthesis)?


Thank you

Answer:

<em>It is due to more meristems present there.</em>

Explanation:

Meristem tissue can be described as the undifferentiated cells of the plant which have the capacity for cell division and convert into different parts of the plant.

The growth is the most at the apical meristems. At the shoot tips, there will be more meristems as compared to the other parts of the plant. This is the reason that the top part of the stem will grow the most.

What do you conclude about the uniformity of cytoplasmic streaming?
SOVA2 [1]

The cytoplasmic streaming can be defined as the movement of the cytoplasm inside the cell. This movement of the cytoplasm helps in the delivery of the metabolites, organelles, and nutrients to all the parts of a cell. The cytoplasmic streaming, which is also known as cyclosis, occurs at the same rate throughout the cell and moves in the direction of the light.

Hence, the answer is 'moves at same rate and towards light'.
