Biology Anatomy of Flowering Plants Secondary Growth Single Correct MCQ
Published on: August 13, 2026

Fifteen years ago, your parents hung a swing from the lower branch of a large tree growing in your yard. When young and sit in it today, you realize it is exactly the same height off the ground as it was when you first sat in it 15 year ago. The reason the swing has not grown taller as the tree has grown is that

A
the tree trunk is showing secondary growth.
B
the tree trunk is part of the primary growth system of the plant, but elongation is no longer occurring in that part of the tree.
C
trees lack apical meristems and so do not get taller.
D
you are hallucinating, because it is impossible for the swing not to have gotten taller as the tree grew.
