Problem 3

Which of the following represents the correct order in the phytochrome signal transduction pathway? (1) red light (2) lightresponsive gene is switched on (or off) (3) movement of Pfr to nucleus (4) conversion of Pr to Pfr (5) formation of PFr-PIF3 complex that is bound to promoter region (a) 1-3-5-4-2 (b) 1-5-3-2-4 (c) 1-2-3-4-5 (d) 1-4-3-2-5 (e) 1-4-3-5-2.

(d) Each member of the phytochrome family exists in two forms: Pr and Pfr. (e) Phytochrome helps plants sense the presence of nearby plants with which they must compete for light.

Problem 5
