| (i) | GA causes increase in length of grape stalks and causes apples to elongate and improve its shape |
| (ii) | GA causes bolting in beet, cabbage and many plants with rosette habit |
| (iii) | Kinetin is a modified cytosine |
| (iv) | Cytokinins are abundant in root apices, developing shoot buds and young fruits |
| (v) | Cytokinins cause lateral shoot growth and adventitious shoot formation |
| (i) | NAA and 2,4-D are synthetic auxins |
| (ii) | Auxins promote flowering in pineapples |
| (iii) | Auxins help to prevent fruit and leaf drop at early stages but promote the abscission of older mature leaves and fruits |
| (iv) | Apical bud removal is applied for hedge making and creating bushy tea plants |
| (v) | Auxin induces parthenocarpy, like, in tomatoes |
| Assertion (A): | Plants retain the capacity for unlimited growth throughout their life. |
| Reason (R): | Plant growth is unique. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explains (A) |

| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False |
| Assertion (A): | Differentiation in plants is open. |
