Cattle in industrial dairy farms are typically given rBST, an animal hormone that increases a cow’s milk production. There is concern that such hormones may have unforeseen effects on milik-drinking humans. Why is there much less concern about plant hormones in the plant foods we eat?
You have been chosen as the lead student gardener for the CSUMB Future Farmers of America Club (FFAC). Your club is looking to you and your Bio211 plant experience to guide them. You arrive at the new FFAC garden plots and notice that while there are many fruits on the apple tree, they seem to remain hard, sour, and green. Your club mates need the red, sweet apples in just a few days for the apple competition. Choose the best hormone to apply and the reason supporting its use: Select one: O a. Apply ethylene to the apples to increase ripening. O b. Apply ethylene to slow ripening and increase chlorophyll levels. O C. Apply auxin to increase parthenocarpy O d. Apply gibberellins to increase fruit size. O e. Apply auxins to decrease apical dominance and increase water intake.
