Question
Which one of the following is not a characteristic of plant cells in the phase of elongation ?
This question was previously asked in
NEET UG Re-Exam 2026 Question Paper (21-Jun-2026)
The correct answer is
Large conspicuous nuclei
The phase of cell elongation in plant growth is characterized by rapid increase in cell size, mainly due to vacuolation and cell wall loosening.
However, large conspicuous nuclei is not a characteristic feature of the elongation phase. In fact, during elongation, the nucleus usually becomes less prominent as the cell becomes highly vacuolated and stretched.
So, the correct answer is:
Large conspicuous nuclei (not a characteristic of elongation phase)
