Statement I: | The root apical meristem and the shoot apical meristem are responsible for the primary growth of the plants and principally contribute to the elongation of the plants along their axis. |
Statement II: | In dicots and gymnosperms, the lateral meristems, vascular cambium and cork-cambium appear later in life and cause the increase in the girth of the organs in which they are active. |

The optimum temperature range for proper growth in most plants is:
1. | \(0^\circ C - 100^\circ C\) | 2. | \(15^\circ C - 20^\circ C\) |
3. | \(28^\circ C - 30^\circ C\) | 4. | \(45^\circ C\) | Greater than

Consider the given diagram and select the correct inference:
1. | Both leaves have shown different absolute growths |
2. | First leaf has exhibited growth but second leaf has not as it is already senescent |
3. | The relative growth of first leaf is more than that of the second leaf |
4. | Both leaves have exhibited equal relative growths |
