B Quantitative short day plant Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C Qualitative long day plant Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D Qualitative long day plant Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Sesame plants are classified as quantitative short day plants in terms of their response to day length. This means that the flowering and reproductive processes of sesame plants are influenced by the duration of daylight, with shorter day lengths triggering the initiation of flowering. However, unlike qualitative short day plants, which require a specific critical day length to flower, sesame plants are more flexible and can flower over a range of shorter day lengths.
