Packet 7: Tossup 16

At the onset of this process, an oxidase in the aleurone layer creates GA3 and GA4, (15[1])which trigger (15[1])alpha-amylase production. (15[1])The degradation (15[1])of DELLA proteins (15[1])following (15[1])a bound (-5[1])GID1 receptor promotes this process. This process (15[1])can be classified as epigeous (15[1])if the hypocotyl (15[1])drives a certain structure upward. (15[1])The hormone (-5[1])abscisic (-5[1])acid ensures this process doesn’t (-5[1])occur (-5[1])prematurely. (15[1]-5[1])Structures (-5[1])in (*) dormancy (10[1])do not undergo (10[1])this process. Gibberellins (10[1])promote (-5[3])this process, (10[3]-5[3])in which the breaking of a coat (10[1])causes the development of the (10[1])radicle (10[1])into the root. (10[1]-5[1])For 10 points, named this process in which a plant seedling (10[1])emerges (10[1]-5[1])from an (10[1])embryo. (10[3]0[1])■END■ (10[12]0[4])

ANSWER: plant germination [prompt on developing from a seed or embryo before mentioned; prompt on ending dormancy before “dormancy” is mentioned]
