The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which hormone can convert a genetically dwarf plant into a plant of normal height, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Question**: The question asks which plant hormone can help a genetically dwarf plant reach a normal height. 2. **Identify the Hormones**: The options provided are: - (a) Auxin - (b) Gibberellin - (c) Cytokinins - (d) Auxin (repeated) 3. **Research Plant Hormones**: - **Auxin**: Primarily involved in cell elongation and growth regulation but not specifically known for increasing height in dwarf plants. - **Gibberellin**: Known for promoting stem elongation and growth. It plays a crucial role in breaking seed dormancy and promoting germination. - **Cytokinins**: Mainly involved in cell division and growth, particularly in roots and shoots, but not specifically for height increase in dwarf plants. 4. **Focus on Gibberellin**: Gibberellin is recognized for its role in promoting stem elongation. It induces both cell division and cell elongation, which are essential for the growth of a plant to reach its normal height. 5. **Conclusion**: Since gibberellin is the hormone that specifically promotes stem elongation and can convert a dwarf plant into a plant of normal height, the correct answer is (b) Gibberellin. ### Final Answer: (b) Gibberellin
