Answer 1

The correct answer is Cytokinin.

Key Points

Cytokinin stimulates cell division and growth.
It is more concentrated in developing parts, such as young fruits and seeds.
The primary function of cytokinesis is to promote cell division, resulting in the formation of new cells that enable the plant to grow.
It separates the parent cell's cytoplasm into two daughter cells.
It mostly happens during two stages called mitosis and meiosis.
Additionally, they are found at the apical parts of roots and shoots.
Cytokinins postpone senescence or the normal aging process that leads to plant death.

Additional Information

Gibberellins
- Gibberellin (GA), a plant hormone, regulates many aspects of plant growth, including germination, elongation growth, flower development, and flowering period.
Abscisic acid
- Abscisic acid (ABA) is a hormone found in plants that control various processes related to development, growth, and stress responses.
Auxins
- Auxins are essential for the growth of the plant body and play an important role in coordinating numerous developmental and behavioral processes throughout the plant life cycle.
