[amp_mcq option1=”Cytokinin” option2=”Abscissic Acid” option3=”Ethylene” option4=”None of the above” correct=”option3″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is (c). Ethylene is a plant hormone that is mainly responsible for fruit ripening. It is produced by the fruit itself as it matures, and it triggers a number of changes that lead to the softening, color change, and flavor development of the fruit. Ethylene can also be artificially applied to fruits to speed up the ripening process.<\/p>\n
Cytokinins are plant hormones that promote cell division and growth. They are not directly involved in fruit ripening.<\/p>\n
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant hormone that is involved in a number of processes, including seed dormancy, leaf abscission, and stress responses. It is not directly involved in fruit ripening.<\/p>\n
(d) None of the above is also not the correct answer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
