Which is the correct difference between gibberellin and cytokinin?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Gibberellin is linked with stem growth and cytokinin with cell division
The governing concept is the division of functions among plant hormones. Gibberellin promotes stem elongation and can support other growth processes, whereas cytokinin stimulates cell division and supports the growth of developing tissues. Thus option A gives the correct comparison. The remaining choices assign animal functions to plant hormones or incorrectly claim that these hormones occur only in animals.
