What will be the effect on phytochrome in a plant subjected to continuous red light?
Correct answer: D. First (b) then (a)
- A. Phytochrome synthesis will increase
- B. Level of phytochrome will decrease
- C. Phytochrome will be destroyed
- D. First (b) then (a)
Explanation
d) : When continous red light is given the level of P R decreases as most of it is converted to P FR form. When the concentration ofP R reaches below a critical value, it starts synthesis of more phytochromes in the P R form so that there is an equilibrium betweem synthesis and destruction of P R form.

About Growth and Development
Embryonic development covers fertilization, cleavage, formation of the blastula and gastrula, germ layers, organ formation and differentiation. Regeneration describes the replacement of lost tissues or body parts, whereas ageing involves gradual cellular and physiological changes linked to reduced repair, altered metabolism and declining organ function.
