parts |of |a |stem |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-nodes, |internodes, |axillary |bud, |apical |bud, |bud |scale |
scar, |leafs, |and |lateral |branches
apical |bud |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-the |tip |of |each |stem |and |branch, |where |growth |occurs |
that |extends |the |length |of |the |stem |or |branch
axillary |bud |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-a |bud |that |forms |at |a |node |and |may |develop |into |a |
lateral |branch
