NEETBotanyPlant - Growth and Development
Read the following statements and choose the following option: 1. Auxin inhibits cell division 2. Gibberellins increase length of fruits and improves its shape 3. Sugarcane stores glycolipids as sugar in their stems 4. Spraying juvenile conifers with Auxins hastens the maturity period, thus leading to early seed production.
Options
- AOnly 4 is correct
- BOnly 2 is correct
- COnly 3 is correct
- DBoth1 and 3 is correct
Correct answer
B. Only 2 is correct
Step-by-step solution
Their ability to cause an increase in length of axis is used to increase the length of grapes stalks. Gibberellins, cause fruits like apple to elongate and improve its shape. Sugarcane stores carbohydrate as sugar in their stems. Spraying sugarcane crop with gibberellins increases the length of the stem, thus increasing the yield by as much as 20 tonnes per acre. Spraying juvenile conifers with GAs hastens the maturity period, thus leading to early seed production.
