#cytokinin signaling

5 public questions tagged with this topic.

Type-B ARRs primarily act as:

That points to B: Transcription factors. Compared with the other options, Transcription factors is the one that correctly describes the Cytokinin concept. The wrong ones are A) Negative regulators; C) Receptors; D) Enzymes. If you’re stuck, eliminate anything that contradicts a basic fact you already know for this topic.

AHP proteins function as:

Go with C — Phosphotransfer proteins. Under Cytokinin, this is the standard explanation you’d use in class: it names the real driver or definition, while the rest are nearby but wrong. Not these: A) Receptors; B) Kinases; D) Transcription factors. When two options sound similar, choose the one that matches the textbook definition most tightly.

Cytokinin signaling is derived from:

Answer: C) Two-component system. For Cytokinin, remember the key idea and you’ll land on this option; the distractors usually swap cause and effect or confuse similar terms. Avoid: A) MAPK pathway; B) Calcium signaling; D) Ubiquitin pathway. Name the process first, then pick the option that describes it — don’t reverse cause and effect.

CRE1 is also known as:

Answer: D) WOL. For Cytokinin, remember the key idea and you’ll land on this option; the distractors usually swap cause and effect or confuse similar terms. Avoid: A) AHK1; B) AHK2; C) AHK3. Name the process first, then pick the option that describes it — don’t reverse cause and effect.

Cytokinin signaling receptors belong to:

Histidine kinases (C) is correct here. This is core Cytokinin: once you know the definition or pathway step, Histidine kinases is the clear fit. The wrong ones are A) GPCR family; B) LRR kinases; D) Serine kinases. If the topic is about gradients or potentials, water/solutes move from higher to lower of the relevant quantity.
