Assertion : Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are very important for plant growth and development. Reason : Auxins do not induce flowering in gymnosperms.

Options

  1. AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  2. BIfboth assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  3. CIf assertion is true but reason is false.

Correct answer

B. Ifboth assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

Step-by-step solution

Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are small, simple molecules of diverse chemical composition, which in low concentration regulate growth, differentiation and development by promoting or inhibiting the same. One type of plant growth regulators are plant hormones or phytohormones. Auxins are the phytohormones. They do not induce flowering in gymnosperms.
