पर्याय

Genes which regulate the proteins directly.
Growth hormones are under the influence of the enzymes coded by a gene.
Growth hormones are directly under the influence of a gene.
उत्तर
The height of a plant is regulated by Growth hormones under the influence of the enzymes coded by a gene.
Explanation:
Under the control of the enzymes that the gene codes for, growth hormones control the plant's height. The amount of growth hormones a plant produces is dependent on the effectiveness of the relevant enzyme. Effective enzymes generate more of the hormone, which causes the plant to grow taller. However, if the enzymes are less effective, less hormone is released, which causes the plant to become stunted.

Why do roots of halophytes show negative geotropism?
While conducting experiments to study the effects of various stimuli on the plants, it was observed that the roots of plant X grow and bend towards two stimuli A and B but bend away from a third stimulus C. The stem of the plant X however bends ” away from stimulus A and B but bends towards the stimulus C. The stimulus B is known to act on the roots due to factors related to Earth. Keeping these points in mind, answer the following questions:
- What could be stimulus A?
- Name the stimulus seen in B.
- What could be stimulus-C?
