Assertion: If leaves removed from a plant are dipped in a cytokinin solution, they stay green much longer than otherwise:
Reason: Cytokinins have an anti-aging effect of certain plant organs like leaves.
1. Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
2. Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
3. Assertion is true but reason is false.
4. Both assertion and reason are false
Assertion: The levels of ABA may increase 100-fold during seed maturation.
Reason: The high levels of ABA in maturing seeds inhibit germination.
1. Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
2. Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
3. Assertion is true but reason is false.
4. Both assertion and reason are false
What is incorrect regarding the results of experiments conducted on coleoptiles of canary grass and oats by Charles Darwin and Francis Darwin on phototropism?
1. Both plants grow toward the light source.
2. The tips of coleoptiles were covered with a metal foil and the coleoptiles did not grow toward light.
3. When the metal foil was removed they still not grew toward the light.
4. The growing region of the coleoptiles rather than their tips was covered and the coleoptiles grew toward the light.
Plant growth regulators do not:
1. act by altering gene expression.
2. have multiple effects.
3. function independently of other hormones.
4. control cell division and cell differentiation
The control of apical dominance is due to interaction of auxins, cytokinins and a newly discovered plant hormone called as:
1. Brassinosteroids
2. Jasmonates
3. Salicylic acid
4. Strigolactones
Many mutants that are especially prone to wilting are deficient in:
1. ABA
2. Ethylene
3. Cytokinins
4. Gibberellins
Hyponastic response in submerged plants may be due to auxin and:
1. ABA
2. Ethylene
3. Cytikinin
4. Gibberellins
The newly discovered PGR brassinosteroids have effects qualitatively similar to:
1. Auxins
2. Gibberellins
3. Cytokinins
4. Ethylene
The plant hormones that are produced by wounded plants and play a key role in controlling plant defences against herbivores as well as responsible for enchanting fragrance of jasmine are:
1. Brassinosteroids
2. Strigolactones
3. Jasmonates
4. Auxins
The most important colors in regulating photomorhogenesis in plants are:
1. Violet and Yellow
2. White and Black
3. Green and Orange
4. Red and Blue
