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 |
Assertion(A): | Synthetic auxin herbicides, including 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) have been developed and used for broadleaf weed control. |
Reason(R): | Auxins are toxic to plants in large concentrations; they are most toxic to dicots and less so to monocots. |
1. | (A) is True; (R) is False |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
3. | (A) is False; (R) is True |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A) |
To promote stem elongation, gibberellins act in concert with:
1. | Auxins | 2. | Cytokinins |
3. | Ethylene | 4. | ABA |
