______ is Used by Plants to Time Dormancy and Flowering

Question

______ is used by plants to time dormancy and flowering.
A) Photoperiod
B) Phenology
C) Basal rate
D) Migration

Accepted Answer

Photoperiod refers to the duration of time during which a plant is exposed to light each day. This is used by plants to time dormancy and flowering, as the length of the photoperiod can trigger physiological responses in the plant. Phenology refers to the study of how biological phenomena, such as plant growth and flowering, are influenced by seasonal changes in temperature and other environmental factors. Basal rate refers to the rate at which the body uses energy while at rest, and migration refers to the movement of organisms from one location to another in response to environmental conditions. Neither of these terms are directly related to the timing of dormancy and flowering in plants.
