Darwin studied coleoptile bending in seedlings of:

Oat (C) is correct here. This is core Auxin Phytohormone: once you know the definition or pathway step, Oat is the clear fit. The wrong ones are A) Wheat; B) Rice; D) Maize. If the topic is about gradients or potentials, water/solutes move from higher to lower of the relevant quantity.

PHOT2 is mainly required for phototropism under:

B fits best: High light. Keep the Phototropin+All basics straight and High light stands out as the precise answer. Avoid: A) Low light; C) Red light; D) Darkness. Light and flowering items often hinge on which photoreceptor or day-length rule is in play.

PHOT1 primarily mediates phototropism under:

That points to C: Low and high blue light. Compared with the other options, Low and high blue light is the one that correctly describes the Phototropin+All concept. The wrong ones are A) Only low light; B) Only high light; D) Red light. If you’re stuck, eliminate anything that contradicts a basic fact you already know for this topic.
