Developing seeds are rich source of which of the following?

Correct answer: D. All of the above

  • A. Auxin
  • B. Gibberellins
  • C. Cytokinins
  • D. All of the above

Explanation

Auxins are plant hormones that are involved in cell elongation, apical dominance, and the control of phototropism and gravitropism. While auxins are crucial for early stages of seed development and embryo formation, their levels generally decrease in mature seeds. Gibberellins are plant hormones that regulate various aspects of plant growth and development, including stem elongation, germination, and flowering. Gibberellins are involved in breaking seed dormancy and promoting seed germination. They can also influence the elongation of the stem during early seedling growth. Cytokinins are plant hormones that play a role in cell division and differentiation. While cytokinins are more commonly associated with actively growing tissues, their presence in mature seeds is usually minimal. During seed germination, cytokinins may be involved in promoting cell division and growth in developing seedlings.

About Reproduction

Human reproduction covers the male and female reproductive organs, gamete formation, fertilization, implantation and hormonal regulation. The menstrual cycle includes ovarian and uterine changes controlled by pituitary and ovarian hormones, while sexually transmitted diseases are studied through their causes, transmission, symptoms, prevention and effects on fertility.
