    Phytochrome occurs in two forms. In which form it promotes the germination of seeds of some species?

    A)  \[{{P}_{fr}}\]forms                        

    B)  \[{{P}_{r}}\]forms

    C)  Both forms                       

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    \[{{P}_{fr}}\]   form   of   phytochrome   is physiologically active while \[{{P}_{r}}\]is inactive form. Red light absorption means the formation of \[{{P}_{fr.}}{{P}_{fr}}\]formation induces the seed germination. On the contrary, far red light or \[{{P}_{r}}\] formation inhibits the germination.
