| 3 | 2 | 8 |
| 4 | 3.5 | 12 |
| 5 | 4 | 18 |
| 6 | 4.5 | 25 |
| 7 | 5 | 20 |
| 8 | 6 | 10 |
| 9 | 7.5 | 8 |
| 10 | 8 | 6 |
| 11 | 9 | 5 |
| 12 | 10 | 5 |
(a) Plot a graph to show the relationship between cytokinin concentration and shoot development.
(b) Use the graph to describe the effect of cytokinin concentration on shoot development.
