A. | Differentiation | - | The formation of xylem and phloem from meristematic tissue |
B. | Dedifferentiation | - | Formation of secondary xylem |
1. | Only A is correct |
2. | Only B is correct |
3. | Both A and B are correct |
4. | Neither A nor B is correct |
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 |
Assertion (A): | Auxins promote stem elongation and inhibit growth of lateral buds |
Reason (R): | Auxins are transported unidirectionally from the stem apex downwards. |
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. |
Assertion (A): | Ethylene promotes fruit ripening. |
Reason (R): | Ethylene is a gaseous hormone that influences various aspects of plant development. |
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 but (R) is False |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False |
Assertion (A): | Cytokinins are synthesized in roots and transported to other parts of the plant. |
Reason (R): | Cytokinins promote cell division and differentiation. |
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) |

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. |

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. |
I: | vertical growth of seedlings |
II: | thinning of the axis |
III: | apical hook formation |
