86. (b) Each hormone has various effects on plants (Because all the five have many simultaneous effects)
87. (d) The five major hormones (Because the hormones from the hypothalamus in the brain release different hormones which like the five hormones in plant have different effects)
88. (a) To stimulate a particular plant cell to become part of a plant’s root system (Since oligosaccharin has a specific function and are not pleiotropic like plant hormones and further pleiotropic plant hormones activate other enzymes so the likely function is suggested by the option "a")
89. (d) concept of pleiotropy as it is exhibited by plant hormones (The para 2 differentiates between the nature of oligosaccharins and pleiotropic nature of plant hormones)
90. (d) Influencing the development of a plant’s cells by controlling the expression of the cells’ genes (The first para suggests that oligosaccharins are regulatory molecules. The last para suggests that "Oligosaccharins are fragments of the cell wall released by enzymes" So the answer could be option "a" or "d". However, tha para in the beginning talks about the "complement of genes" so the best option would be "d")
91. (c) artificially control specific aspects of the development of crops (Because the para suggests that the plant hormones which are pleiotropic in nature have different effects and "are not very useful in artificially controlling the growth of crops" so the other one i.e, oligosaccharins could be useful)
92. (a) introduce the idea of a hierarchy of hormones (Because the para 3 first talks about the analogy between the animal and plant hormones and then tells that " there is a hierarchy of hormones" in animals and suggests that this hierarchy may also exist in plant hormones.
