Chapter 26 Growth and Development in Plants
Which of the following most directly controls • the flowering response in short-day plants? • length of the light period • length of the dark period • relative amounts of blue light available • intensity of light during the light period • air temperature during the dark period Answer: b
The coiling of a vine around a pole is due to • phototropism • gravitropism • thigmotropism • circadian rhythms • photoperiodism Answer: c
In plants, the initiation of flowering in response • to photoperiod is triggered by changes in • ethylene • gibberellic acid • auxin • phytochrome • cytokinin Answer: d
a. Indoleactic acid (IAA) • b. Cytokinin • c. Gibberellin • d. Ethylene • e. Abscisic acid • A gas the hastens fruit ripening • Promotes germination • Stimulates activation of proteins for mitosis Answer: d Answer: c Answer: b
De-etiolation Etiolation
Phototropism (positive) caused by plant hormone
Gravitropism (negative) (positive)
Thigmotropism tendrils
Seismonastic movement turgor pressure differences (K+)

Which is true of seeds? • They contain the gametophyte. • They are characteristic of all plants. • They are a mechanism for pollen dispersal. • They are not characteristic of conifers. • They contain the cotyledon. Answer: e
Which of the following occurs after fertilization? • The ovule becomes the seed, the ovary • becomes the fruit. • b. The ovary becomes the seed, the ovule • becomes the fruit. • c. The micropyle becomes the seed, the sepals • become the fruit. • d. The stigma becomes the seed, the ovule • becomes the fruit. • e. The micropyle becomes the seed, the ovary • becomes the fruit. Answer: a
Which of the following structures is NOT part • of the pistil? • ovule • ovary • style • anther • stigma Answer: d
Angiosperms (flowering plants) have wide distribution in the biosphere and the largest number of species in the plant kingdom. (a) Discuss the function of FOUR structures for reproduction found in angiosperms and the adaptive (evolutionary) significance of each. (b) Mosses (Bryophytes) have not achieved the widespread terrestrial success of angiosperms. Discuss how the anatomy and reproductive strategies of mosses limit their distribution. (c) Explain alternation of generations in either angiosperms or mosses. 2005
