Which Type of Mutant Would Be Most Likely to Produce

Question

Which type of mutant would be most likely to produce a bushier phenotype?
A) auxin overproducer
B) strigolactone overproducer
C) cytokinin underproducer
D) gibberellin overproducer
E) strigolactone underproducer

Accepted Answer

Strigolactones inhibit shoot branching, so a strigolactone underproducer would likely have a bushier phenotype due to reduced inhibition of shoot branching.
