If auxin distribution remains equal in a plant why will bending to one side be less likely?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because cell growth on both sides will remain nearly equal
Directional bending in a plant usually results from unequal growth on two sides of a stem or shoot. Auxin can promote cell elongation in shoots, so a higher auxin concentration on one side may make that side grow faster and cause curvature. If auxin is distributed equally, growth remains nearly equal on both sides and there is little asymmetry to produce bending. Therefore option A is correct.
