Read the following statements with respect to ethylene -the gaseous plant hormone:
(i)
Causes horizontal growth of seedlings.
(ii)
It is highly effective in causing fruit ripening.
(iii)
Is responsible for respiratory climatic in fruits which is the enhanced respiration rate during fruit ripening.
(iv)
Ethylene breaks seed and bud dormancy, initiates germination in peanut seeds, and causes the sprouting of potatoes.
(v)
It is used to initiate flowering and for synchronising fruit set in pineapples.

Seed packets give a recommended planting depth for the enclosed seeds. The most likely reason some seeds are to be covered with only \({ 1\over 4}\) inch of soil is that these :
1. Seeds do not have an etiolation response
2. Seeds of some kind require light to germinate
3. Seeds require a very high temperature to germinate
4. Do not produce hypocotyl
