What would be expected to happen if: you forget to add cytokinin to the culture medium.
Answers
(b) If dividing cells stop differentiating, then the plant organs such as leaves and stem will not be formed. The mass of undifferentiated cell is called callus.
(c) If a rotten fruit gets mixed with unripe fruits, then the ethylene produced from the rotten fruits will hasten the ripening of the unripe fruits.
(d) If you forget to add cytokinin to the culture medium, then cell division, growth, and differentiation will not be observed.
If cytokinin is not added to the culture medium, the plants will not grow as desired. It will decrease the growth of the plant and its differentiation into various parts like shoots, buds, fruits and seeds.
Explanation:
Cytokinins are a kind of plant growth hormones (phytohormones) responsible for cell division and cell growth in plant roots and shoots.They also have an impact on apical dominance, axillary bud growth, and leaf aging.
They function along with another complementary plant hormone auxin and their ratio is crucial in determining the plant growth. For example, more cytokinin supports growth of shoot buds, while more auxin promotes root formation.
