A plant mutant that showed normal gravitropic bending but did not store starch in its plastids would require a reevaluation of the role of ________ in gravitropism.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The absence of starch storage would not affect the ability of the plant to sense gravity, as statoliths (dense structures within the cell that sense gravity) are still present. Therefore, the role of statoliths in gravitropism would need to be reevaluated if the mutant showed normal gravitropic bending but did not store starch.
