Growth is defined as a reversible increase in the size of the organism which occurs throughout the plant's life cycle.
TRUE
FALSE
Morphogenesis is the series of changes by which an individual plant or animal passes from a lower to a higher state of being or from embryonic condition to maturity.
TRUE
FALSE
This phase of growth is characterized by a rapid and often linear increase in dry matter production.
Exponential Phase
Stationary Phase
Grand Phase
Logarithmic Phase
It is one of the three general factors affecting plant growth and development that control the general species characteristics of the individual and set limits on size and rate of growth.
Hormones
Hereditary
Nutrition
Environment
Plant growth regulators (PGR) include synthetic compound, which are organic only.
TRUE
FALSE
These are organic compounds that are produced by plants and have definite physiological effect. Examples are auxins, ethylene and gibberrellins.

All gibberellins are acidic compounds and are therefore also called gibberellic acids (GA)
TRUE
FALSE
Which is not a reproductive function of Gibberellins?
Stimulates flowering in long-day plants
Fruit growth
Cell division
Sex expression
The most common form of naturally occurring cytokinin in plants today is called ___ which was isolated from corn.
zaetin
zetain
zeakitin
zeatin
Cytokinin can hasten senescence of cut flowers and vegetables.
TRUE
FALSE
It is the ripening hormone H2C=CH2.
Cytokinin
Auxin
Ethylene
Abscisic Acid
It is a form of ethylene which in its liquid state at a proper pH does not yield ethylene; however when the pH is elevated it breaks down to form ethylene.
Natural
Synthetic
Organic
Inorganic
Abscisic Acid promotes seed dormancy. Seeds germinate when ABA is degraded by some environmental action.
TRUE
FALSE
It involves fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote, which develops into an embryo to form seed.
Sexual Reproduction
Asexual Reproduction
Mode of pollination where there is a transfer of pollen to the stigma in a flower on a different plant.
Autogamy
Self-pollination
Allogamy
Often Cross-pollination
It refers to the failure of a flower to fertilize the same flower or other flowers on the same plant.
Male Sterility
Dicliny
Dichogamy
Self-incompatibility
Floral mechanism promoting self-pollination where flowers do not open at all.
Clistogamy
Chasmogamy
