Question

Read the given statements and select the correct option. 
 Statement A: All GAs are acidic 
 Statement B: Tomato is a long day plant

K SURESH KUMAR · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: D
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Plant Physiology and Chemistry of Gibberellins (GAs)
	**Related Topics**: Plant hormones, Photoperiodism
	**Prerequisites**: Basic understanding of plant growth regulators and flowering responses.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	Two statements about Gibberellins (GAs) and tomato plants.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. **Analyze Statement A:** 'All GAs are acidic'
		Reasoning: Gibberellins are plant hormones, and while many are acidic, not all are. Some GAs are known to exist in conjugated forms with sugars, making them non-acidic.
	2. **Analyze Statement B:** 'Tomato is a long day plant'
		Reasoning: Tomato is a day-neutral plant, meaning its flowering is not affected by the length of the day.  It flowers when it reaches a certain maturity stage, regardless of day length.
	3. **Combine Analysis:** Both statements A and B are incorrect.
		Result: Option D is correct.
## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] :x: Both statements are incorrect, so this option is wrong.
[B] :x: Statement A is incorrect, so this option is wrong.
[C] :x: Statement B is incorrect, so this option is wrong.
[D] ✓: Both statements A and B are incorrect, which aligns with our analysis. 
## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1. Generalizing about GAs: Assuming all GAs share the same chemical properties without considering variations.
			How to avoid: Remember that GAs exist in different forms and not all are acidic.
		2. Misclassifying tomato's photoperiodic response: Confusing day-neutral plants with long-day or short-day plants.
			How to avoid: Memorize common examples of each photoperiodic group. Tomato is a classic example of a day-neutral plant.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1. Remember that plant hormones have diverse chemical structures and functions.
		2. Learn the photoperiodic classifications of common plants.
