Research has shown that cytokinin levels fluctuate seasonally in temperate plants. What season would you expect to see the lowest levels of cytokinins and why would this be adaptive?  

A.  Spring, because lower levels of cytokinin allow auxin to promote rapid growth in stem height. This will allow the plant to compete effectively for sunlight. B.  Summer, because lower levels of cytokinin would slow growth down and delay leaf aging. This will allow the plant to maximize the production of starch and increase it's sugar reserves. This will help ensure the plant's survival through Autumn and Winter. C.  Autumn, because lower levels of cytokinin at this time of year will induce the production of ethylene. This will result in maturation of fruit and ensure effective seed dispersal before Winter. D.  Winter, because lower levels of cytokinin will place buds into a dormant state. This will protect the underlying tissues from freezing until Spring.

Which is a true statement concerning genetic variation?

A) It is created by the direct action of natural selection. B) It arises in response to changes in the environment. C) It must be present in a population before natural selection can act upon the population. D) It tends to be reduced by the processes involved when diploid organisms produce gametes. E) A population that has a higher average heterozygosity has less genetic variation than one with a larger average heterozygosity.
