Which plant hormone is responsible for phototropism in plants stem

  • a. Auxin
  • b. Gibberellin
  • c. Cytokinin
  • d. Ethylene
Answer
a. Auxin

One among these plant growth regulator increase cell division

  • a. Auxin
  • b. Gibberellin
  • c. Cytokinin
  • d. Ethylene
Answer
c. Cytokinin
Explanation
Skoog, Miller et al. found that callus of tobacco stem cells divide in presence of  year extract or coconut water along with auxin. They purified and crystaliised the active compound from Herring’s sperm (a fish) and called it kinetin

If a seed is put with this hormone, it will not germinate:

  • a. Ethylene
  • b. Abscisic acid
  • c. Cytokinin
  • d. Auxin
Answer
b. Abscisic acid

Which among these is not an example of auxin

  • a. Indole acetic acid
  • b. Indole butyric acid
  • c. 2, 4-D
  • d. Naphthalene acetic acid
  • e. Glacial acetic acid
Answer
e. Glacial acetic acid
Explanation
All four a to d are auxins. IAA and IBA are natural auxins. NAA and 2,4-D are synthetic auxins. Glacial acetic acid is a simple compount that we use in laboratory for various chemical reactions.

Which hormone is responsible for apical dominance

  • a. Auxin
  • b. Gibberellin
  • c. Cytokinin
  • d. Ethylene
Answer
a. Auxin

Apical dominance is inhibitory role of auxin to the

  • a. Apical bud
  • b. Lateral buds
  • c. Both
  • d. None
Answer
b. Lateral buds

Which hormone can produce parthenocarpic fruit (fruit without seed)?

  • a. Auxin
  • b. Gibberellin
  • c. Cytokinin
  • d. Ethylene
Answer
a. Auxin

Hormone that cause delayed senescence is

  • a. Auxin
  • b. Ethylene
  • c. Abscisic acid
  • d. Gibberelin
Answer
d. Gibberelin

2,4,d induces parthenocarpy only in

  • a. Monocot
  • b. Dicot
  • c. Both
  • d. None
Answer
b. Dicot
Explanation
Auxins introduce parthenocarpy only in dicot plants. They do not effect mature monocot. Farmers use this property to eliminate dicot weeds from moncot crops like maize, pulses.
