Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both plant meristems and animal blastulas contain undifferentiated cells, which are responsible for producing new cells for growth and development. Meiotic cell division occurs in reproductive cells, not in plant meristems or animal blastulas. The increase in size is not due to the appearance of large vacuoles, but rather through cell division. While animal blastulas undergo gastrulation and form complex three-dimensional structures, plant meristems do not undergo gastrulation but do form complex structures through cell differentiation.
