Filo · Accepted Answer

Increase in growth per unit time is called as growth rate. The growth rate may be arithmetic or geometrical. Arithmetic Growth is a type of growth in which the rate of growth is constant and increase in growth occurs in arithmetic progression-- 2, 4, 6, 8, 10,12. Meristematic cells at the growing point divide in such a fashion that one daughter cell remains meristematic while the other grows and differentiates. the process continues. Mathematically, arithmetic growth is expressed as

L_{t} = L_{0} + r t;

where

L_{t} =

length after time t,

L_{0}

= length at the beginning, and r = growth rate. On plotting growth against time, a linear graph is obtained.

So, the correct answer is 'All statements are correct.'
