Which statement is incorrect about ethylene production?
Correct answer: B. It is associated with ethane production
- A. Climacteric is burst of respiratory activity in fruit ripening
- B. It is associated with ethane production
- C. It helps in fruit ripening
- D. It helps in fruit set
Explanation
Ethylene (C2H4) is a plant hormone, also known as a phytohormone, which plays a crucial role in various physiological processes in plants, including fruit ripening, senescence (aging), and responses to environmental stress. It is a simple hydrocarbon gas and is involved in regulating the growth and development of plants. In the context of fruit ripening, ethylene is responsible for triggering the climacteric phase, as I mentioned in my previous response. On the other hand, ethane (C2H6) is an entirely different hydrocarbon gas, which is an alkane and a component of natural gas. Ethane is not involved in the physiological processes of fruit ripening or any plant-related activities.

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.
