a. ARF transcription factor is unable to bind Aux/IAA proteins.
b. TIRI has a defect in its auxin binding site.
c. Aux/IAA proteins have a defect that prevents them from binding ubiquitin, but they still can bind the ARF transcription factor.
d. Both b and c are correct.

What did Went's experiments with the gelatin block demonstrate?
A. Plants cannot be induced to bend during growth unless they are exposed to an indirect source of light.
B. Light induces the coleoptile to produce a diffusible substance that moves to the growing region of a plant where it stimulates cells to elongate.
C. Gelatin can enhance the movement of a soluble factor from the growing region of a plant to the coleoptile where it accelerates growth.
D. When a plant tip is removed from a growing plant, the plant acquires the ability to bend toward the light
