While conducting experiments to study the effect of various stimuli on the plants, it was observed that the roots of a plant X grow and bend towards two stimuli A and B but bend away from a third stimulus C. The stem of the plant X, however, bends away from stimuli A and B but bends towards the stimulus C. The stimulus B is known to act on the roots due to too much weight of the earth. Keeping these points in mind, answer the following question:
  1. What could stimulus A be?
  2. Name the stimulus B.
  3. What could stimulus C be?
  4. The branches of a fallen tree in a forest grow straight up in response to two stimuli. What could be these two stimuli out of A, B and C? Also name these two stimuli.

A scientist removed some cells from the growing point of a plant and placed it in a suitable medium leading to the formation of a shapeless lump of mass X. X is then transferred to another medium which stimulates it to develop roots. When X with developed roots is placed in a yet another medium, then it develops shoots to form tiny plantlets. These plantlets can then be transplanted in pots or soil where they can grow to form mature plants.
  1. What is the shapeless lump of mass X known as?
  2. What name is given to this method of producing new plants?
  3. The growth medium used in this method contains plant nutrients in the form of a 'jelly'. Name this jelly.
  4. What is the general name of chemicals used to stimulate the growth of plant cells and development of roots and shoots?
  5. Name any two plants which are produced by this method.
  6. State any two advantages of this method of producing plants.
  7. What is the other name of this method [other then that given in (b) above]?
