Question

When a plant is not reproducing, most of its cytokinins are produced in its:

• A. Leaves
• B. Lateral buds
• C. Roots
• D. Shoot apex

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Roots

The substance was named Cytokinin and it is involved in cell division and in the making of new plant organs, like a root or a shoot. Cytokinins are produced in the root apical meristems (very tip of the roots) and travel upward hitching a ride with water and traveling up the stem through the xylem.

So, the correct option is 'roots'.
