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.
