Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which are growth hormones that are produced by the apical meristem?
A
Gibberelins
B
Auxins
C
Cytokins
D
Etiolations
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Apical meristematic cells give rise to the primary body of the plant and are responsible for stem and root formation. There are many phytohormones that are nothing but signal molecules that regulate all the cellular activities in plants. Auxin is one such hormone that enables the increase in growth of stems.

Detailed explanation-2: -Auxin is produced in the apical meristem of the plant, whereas cytokinin is produced in the leaves.

Detailed explanation-3: -The leaves and flowers form from a relatively small group of cells at the tip of a growing stem known as the shoot apical meristem. Auxin accumulates at precise locations within the shoot apical meristem before cells activate the genes required to make a new leaf or flower.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: Auxin is a plant growth hormone that can be created chemically or produced biologically by the plant. In biological synthesis, the natural hormone is represented by the symbol IAA, standing for indoleacetic acid.

Detailed explanation-5: -Auxin is produced in the cells of the apical meristem and is transported to various portions of tissues and cells around the apical meristem, signaling these cells to elongate.
