Questions and Answers

Which of the following is true about cytokinin biosynthesis?

  • Cytokinin biosynthesis is irreversible.
  • Cytokinin biosynthesis is not affected by CK or ABA.
  • Mutations in cytokinin biosynthesis pathways result in loss of overall cytokinin function. (correct)
  • Cytokinin biosynthesis is regulated by nitrogen.

Which of the following correctly describes the relationship between cytokinins and auxins?

  • Cytokinins inhibit branching in the shoot.
  • Cytokinins have a positive impact on cell proliferation in the shoot at low concentrations. (correct)
  • Cytokinins maintain stem cell activity at the root apical meristem.
  • Cytokinins promote lateral organ initiation at the shoot apical meristem.

How are cytokinins and auxins related in terms of their function at the root apex?

  • Cytokinins maintain stem cell activity at the root apex.
  • Cytokinins and auxins both promote cell differentiation at the root apex.
  • Cytokinins and auxins have no impact on each other's function at the root apex.
