Apical dominance in a growing shoot is best explained by which integrated hormonal mechanism?
1. Basipetal transport of auxin suppressing lateral bud growth by reducing cytokinin action.
2. Acropetal transport of cytokinin promoting auxin synthesis in axillary buds.
3. Uniform distribution of gibberellins stimulating equal growth of all buds.
4. Local accumulation of ethylene inhibiting elongation of the main apex.

Which plant hormone is chemically classified as a terpene derivative?
1. Indole-3-acetic acid which promotes cell elongation and growth
2. Zeatin which promotes cell division and delays senescence
3. Abscisic acid which induces dormancy and stomatal closure
4. Ethylene which promotes fruit ripening and abscission
