The correct Answer is:
B
Isolation of auxins from tips of coleoptiles of oat seedlings is based upon Avena coleotile curvature test. This experiment was devised by F.W. Went (1926). It is based on the quick polar transport of auxin, downwards in Avena coleoptile. The result will be differential growth and formation of curvature. Degree of curvature is almost proportional to the cocentration of auxin.

Where would the greatest number of endemic species occur and why ? (a) Small volcanic archipelagos, such as the Galapagos Islands, because the abundance of unoccupied habitats favours the adaptive divergence of colonists from nearby mainland populations. (b) Large oceanic island, such as Australia, because the inhabitants have been isolated from mainland populations for a very long time. (c) On rugged landscapes, such as Patagonia, because of the high levels of natural disturbance by glaciers and earthquakes. (d) Temperate woodlands, such as those in southern England, because of the high levels of disturbance by human activity and the history of artificial selection.
