Question

select all that apply
select all the plant hormones that play a role in the transition of flower parts into a fruit.
gibberellins
auxin
cytokinins
ethylene

Explanation:

• Gibberellins: Promote cell elongation and division, which are crucial for fruit growth and development during the transition from flower parts to fruit.
• Auxin: Involved in various aspects of plant growth, including fruit set and early fruit development. It helps in the initiation and growth of the fruit.
• Cytokinins: Regulate cell division and differentiation. They play a role in the overall development and growth of the fruit, contributing to its proper formation.
• Ethylene: Influences fruit ripening. While its main role is more prominent in the later stages of fruit development (ripening), it also has an impact on the transition process as it can interact with other hormones and affect fruit growth - related processes.

Answer:

All options (gibberellins, auxin, cytokinins, ethylene) are correct as they all play roles in the transition of flower parts into a fruit, although their specific functions and timings of action may vary.
