Question
The phenomenon which is influenced by auxin and also played a major role in its discovery is:
Phototropism
Root initiation
Gravitropism
Apical Dominance
the discovery of auxins started with the observation of Charles Darwin and his son Francis Darwin. They observed that the coleoptiles of canary grass responded to unilateral illumination by growing towards the light source, a phenomenon known as phototropism. This series of experiments led to the conclusion that the tip of the coleoptile was the site of a transmittable influence (later identified as auxin) that caused the bending .
This question aligns with the NEET BIOLOGY syllabus, specifically targeting concepts from Plant Growth and Development . Mastering this topic is crucial for scoring well in the upcoming medical entrance examinations. Solving conceptually related problems will help you understand the nuances of these concepts and improve your problem-solving speed.
