Statement I: | Differentiation in plant cells is an irreversible process, under normal condition, where cells acquire specific structures to perform specialized functions. |
Statement II: | Dedifferentiation in plants occurs when previously differentiated cells regain the capacity to divide under certain conditions, forming meristematic tissues like cork cambium. |
Statement I: | Cytokinins help to initiate rooting in stem cuttings during plant propagation. |
Statement II: | In most cases, ABA acts as a synergist to Gibberellins. |
1. | Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect. |
2. | Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct. |
3. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct. |
4. | Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect |
1. | Meristematic cells developing into specialized tissues. |
2. | Xylem cells undergoing dedifferentiation to form cambium. |
3. | Fully mature tissues losing their ability to perform specialized functions. |
4. | Differentiated cells regaining the ability to divide and specialize again. |
1. | Inhibition of stem elongation, thickening of the stem, and horizontal growth. |
2. | Increased leaf expansion, root elongation, and faster seed germination. |
3. | Acceleration of flowering, increased transpiration, and decreased chlorophyll content. |
4. | Suppression of fruit ripening, promotion of seed dormancy, and increased stomatal closure. |
Assertion (A): | Cytokinins are synthesized in roots and transported to other parts of the plant. |
Reason (R): | Cytokinins promote cell division and differentiation. |
