Auxin is used by gardeners to prepare weed-free lawns. But no damage is caused to grass as auxin:
does not affect monocots
stimulates growth of monocots
inhibits growth of monocots
is not absorbed by monocots
Which of the following best explains why auxin can be used to create weed-free lawns without harming the grass?
Grasses absorb auxin more slowly than weeds
Auxin promotes grass growth while inhibiting weed growth
Differential sensitivity to auxin in monocots and dicots
Grasses metabolize auxin more efficiently than weeds
A gardener uses a synthetic auxin to control broadleaf weeds in his lawn. The grass, a monocot, remains unaffected. This is primarily due to:
Enhanced auxin metabolism in monocots
Lower auxin sensitivity in monocots
Reduced auxin uptake in monocots
Increased auxin tolerance in monocots
Assertion: Auxin can be used as a herbicide.
Reason: Monocots are generally less sensitive to auxin than dicots.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
A is true but R is false
A is false but R is true
If a farmer wants to selectively eliminate dicot weeds from a field of monocot crops, which plant growth regulator would be most suitable?
