Question

Natural cytokinins are synthesized in tissues for

• A. Differentiating
• B. Senescent
• C. Dividing
• D. Storing food

Answer 1

The correct option is C Dividing

Cytokinin is a naturally occurring plant growth hormone (PGR) extracted from coconut milk.

Cytokinins are synthesized in root apex, endosperm of seeds, and young fruits where cell division takes place continuously.

They stimulate cell division, cell enlargement and cell differentiation and also prevent ageing of plant parts.

Hence, natural cytokinins are synthesized in tissues for dividing.

So, the answer is C.
