Which of the following statements about plant development is true?
- The positions and time at which plant modules are generated are not influenced by the environment.
- Long range hormonal signals play a larger role in plant development compared to animal development.
- The internal organization of a plant module is not genetically controlled.

What is the main difference between plant and animal development?
What is the main difference between plant and animal development?
- Animals have a greater number of standardized modules compared to plants.
- Plants have a root-shoot axis, while animals do not.
- Plants have a more complex internal organization compared to animals.
- Plants rely more on external cues and hormonal signals for development compared to animals. (correct)
What is the significance of the root-shoot axis in plant development?
What is the significance of the root-shoot axis in plant development?
- It plays a larger role in plant development compared to animal development.
- It determines the overall structure of the plant.
- It is responsible for the generation of plant modules.
- It influences the genetic control of pattern formation in plant development. (correct)

Study Notes
Plant Development
- Plants have a flexible body plan, which allows for continuous growth and adaptation to the environment.
- The main difference between plant and animal development is that plants have an open system of growth, whereas animals have a closed system of growth.
Plant Body Organization
- The root-shoot axis is significant in plant development as it establishes the polarity of the plant, determining the direction of growth.
Plant Module Organization
- A false statement about the internal organization of a plant module is that it has a fixed pattern of growth.
Embryonic Development in Plants
- During embryonic development in plants, the zygote undergoes multiple cell divisions, forming a spherical mass of cells called the proembryo.
- The proembryo develops into the radicle (primary root) and the hypocotyl (stem), establishing the root-shoot axis.
