Question

State whether the following statements are true or false.
In a plant seedling exposed to light on only one side, auxin produced in the tip moves to the lighted side and inhibits growth of cells there.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

When the light is exposed to only one side of the seedling, the auxin will move and grow towards the side of the light. This phenomenon is termed as phototropism (Movement of plant growth towards the source of light). Thus only one seed of the seedling will be able to grow and the other where light is unable to reach will not grow.

So, the correct statement is 'False'.
