| Assertion(A): | A correct concentration of auxin and cytokinin is required for the development of root and shoot in a callus | 
| Reason(R): | When the ratio of auxin to cytokinin is high, then only roots develop but when the ratio of cytokinin to auxin is high then only shoots develop |

| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. | 
| Assertion(A): | Ethylene can either act as a growth promoter or inhibitor | 
| Reason(R): | Ethylene helps in breaking the dormancy of seeds and buds and is also responsible for the senescence of plant parts like leaves and flower | 
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) | 
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) |
