A plant that normally has relatively few, long internodes develops short and more frequent internodes. Which of the following is the most likely factor in this? A. the growth is high on the plant B. the growth is late in the season C. the growth is a response to high levels of light D. the growth is early in the season
Added by Gail F.
Step 1
If the growth is high on the plant, it would likely have more access to sunlight, which could lead to longer internodes as the plant tries to maximize its exposure to light. So, this option is not likely. B. If the growth is late in the season, the plant may be Show more…

A plant exhibits unusually large growth between the internodes on its stems. This plant has an excess of: A. Abscisic Acid B. Ethylene C. Gibberellin D. Auxin 2. A plant slows down its growth as winter approaches because of the influence of: A. Abscisic Acid B. Gibberellin C. Ethylene D. Auxin 3. A plant may take a "skinny" appearance and have very few lateral stems unless something is done to reduce its supply of: A. Abscisic Acid B. Auxin C. Ethylene D. Gibberellin 4. Plants that flower only in late summer or early fall are showing the influence of: A. Photoperiodism B. Phototropism C. Thigmotropism D. Geotropism
