3. | (A) is True; (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False; (R) is True. |
Assertion (A): | Spraying gibberellins on the tree can extend the market period for fruits. |
Reason (R): | Gibberellins delay senescence. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
3. | (A) is True; (R) is False. |

Column A | Column B | ||
1. | Auxins | A. | Stimulate cell division and growth of lateral buds |
2. | Cytokinins | B. | Promote stem elongation and fruit growth |
3. | Gibberellins | C. | Promote cell enlargement and stem elongation |
1. | Promoting seed germination, stimulating stem elongation, triggering the flowering process. |
2. | Enhancing the ripening of fruits, increasing root growth, promoting leaf abscission. |
3. | Inducing root nodulation, decreasing seed dormancy, reducing fruit set. |
4. | Suppressing stem growth, delaying flowering, enhancing leaf senescence. |
Assertion (A): | Gibberellic acid (GA) promotes plant growth, while abscisic acid (ABA) generally inhibits it. |
Reason (R): | GAs are terpenes and ABA is carotenoid. |
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). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
I: | Auxins promote cell elongation and root growth in plants. |
II: | Gibberellins are responsible for seed germination and stem elongation. |
III: | Cytokinins inhibit apical dominance and promote lateral bud growth. |
IV: | Ethylene stimulates fruit ripening and senescence in plants. |
