Try this shmoopy question on for size...

00:05

If you like this passage, hit pause.

00:07

It'll last longer.

00:14

If PIN1 clustering is important for the patterning

00:16

of leaves and plants, and stress is also important for patterning, what effect

00:21

should mechanical stress have on PIN1 clustering?

00:24

And here are the potential answers...

00:35

This is a problem dealing with a lot of causes and effects.

00:38

It wants to know if we can determine...what causes what.

00:42

Let's take a look at what we know:

00:44

PIN1 is important for patterning.

00:47

Stress is important for patterning.

00:49

Can the scientists help us out?

00:51

Of course they can!

00:53

Scientist 2 says: "If we intentionally stress the SAM, we see that the leaves begin to take

00:58

on a pattern that is highly stress-dependent." So stress causes patterning.

01:05

Well, PIN1 is what makes patterning happen.

01:08

So if we stress the plant...i.e. injure it, patterns will occur...

01:12

...and to make the patterns occur, we need PIN1.

01:15

Which answer aligns with this idea?

01:18

Well, mechanical stress doesn't cause PIN1 to

01:21

run away to the roots of the plant, so D is wrong.

01:24

What about C?

01:25

"PIN1 should accumulate near the SAM regardless of stress."

01:29

There's something majorly wrong with this answer.

01:31

If we read the question carefully, it's asking us to

01:35

find the effect of mechanical stress on PIN1.

01:38

Option B. "PIN1 should be created by auxin."

01:41

Yeah, that's fine and dandy, but it doesn't answer our question about mechanical stress.

01:46

Which leaves us with A. Injuries, or stresses, do cause PIN1 to accumulate.

01:51

A's our answer.

01:52

If you need us, we'll be over here, squeezing this stress ball.
