Drag the phrases on the left to the blanks on the right to complete the sentences. Not all phrases will be used. Reset Help grow additional xylem cells The shoot region in which the apical meristem cells were removed will and become woody The mature region in which the apical meristem cells were grafted will continue to grow in length in the absence of meristem cells no longer be capable of growing in length exhibit no change produce new meristem cells and continue to grow in length die form a new shoot Submit Request Answer
