Cytokinin is related to which function in plants?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Cell division
The governing concept is the role of plant hormones in growth and development. Cytokinins stimulate cell division, or cytokinesis, and therefore help form new cells in growing plant tissues. Hence option A is correct. Blood-pressure regulation and nerve-message transmission are animal functions, while stopping respiration is not a normal function of cytokinin. The distractors belong to unrelated body systems or describe an incorrect effect.
