you are given a tissue with its potential for differentiation in an artificial culture. Which of the following pairs of hormones would you add to the medium to secure shoots as well as roots?
(1) IAA and gibberellin
(2) Auxin and cytokinin
(3) Auxin and abscisic acid
(4) Glbberellin & abscisic acid
Phytochrome is a

(2) glycoprotein
(3) lipoprotein
(4) chromoprotein
The Avena curvature is used for bioassay of

What causes a green plant exposed to the light on only one side, to bend toward the
source of light as it grows?
1. Green plants need light to perform photosynthesis
2. Green plants seek light because they are phototropic
3. Light stimulates plant cells on the lighted side to grow faster
4. Auxin accumulates on the shaded side, stimulating greater cell elongation there
