The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Cytokinins**: Cytokinins are a class of plant hormones that play a crucial role in promoting cell division and growth in plants. They are essential for various developmental processes. 2. **Location of Synthesis**: Natural cytokinins are synthesized in specific regions of the plant where rapid cell division occurs. The primary sites of synthesis include: - **Root Apices**: This is the most significant area for cytokinin production, where active cell division is taking place. - **Shoot Buds**: Cytokinins are also produced in the shoot buds, which are regions where new growth is initiated. - **Young Fruits and Developing Seeds**: These areas also synthesize cytokinins as they are involved in growth and development. 3. **Function of Cytokinins**: The synthesized cytokinins are transported from these regions to other parts of the plant, where they promote cell division, elongation, and differentiation. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the information provided, the statement that "natural cytokinins are synthesized in regions where rapid cell division occurs" is true. **Final Answer**: True ---
