Answer
Cutting stems can stimulate hormones to start lateral leaf growth.
Some tropisms are controlled by hormones.
Cells grow faster in areas where auxin is concentrated.
Hormones help buds form and grow in the winter.
Explanation:
Auxins exert various effects including elongation growth. The basic effect of auxin involves regulation of stem growth. This occurs by stimulation of cell growth in the direction of elongation.Auxin inhibits the growth of axillary buds.
Cleaving a flatworm into pieces would not kill the flatworm as each piece would turn into a new flatworm. The mechanism is known as fragmentation. In multicellular species, fragmentation refers to a kind of asexual reproduction in which a species gets cleaved into fragments.
Each of these fragments forms into completely developed, mature individuals, which are similar to their parents. Fragmentation is also called splitting, it is a mode of reproduction witnessed in various species like molds, filamentous cyanobacteria, lichens, various plants, and animals like flatworms, sponges, sea stars, and some annelids.
