Question
What is apical dominance?
✓

Answer

This is the phenomenon of more cell division taking place in shoot apex or root apex. The growth in apical regions prevents other parts from growing Horticulturists use this property to grow plants with more branches by cutting off the apex. This helps in channelizing resources to other areas of plant rather than to the apex.
