The reason that paralogous genes can diverge from each other within the same gene pool, whereas orthologous genes diverge only after gene pools are isolated from each other, is that

The induction of α-amylase synthesis in barley aleurone layers by gibberellin, given some statements about after the induction of GA into the aleurone layer, and allows some transcriptional gene function inside the nucleus such as;
a) GA-MYB is a negative regulator of α-amylase transcription
b) The sequence of the gibberellic acid response element
(GARE) in the α-amylase gene promoter is similar to the DNA sequence to
which MYB proteins bind.
c) Synthesis of GA-MYB mRNA begins to increase as early as 1
h after gibberellin treatment, preceding the increase in a-amylase mRNA by
several hours
d) A mutation in the GARE that prevents MYB binding also
prevents α-amylase expression.
e) GA-MYB can therefore be defined as a primary or early response
gene, while the α-amylase gene is a secondary or late response gene
f) The secretory pathway requires GA stimulation of the
calcium-calmodulin– independent pathway.
Which of the following statements is incorrect about this transcriptional gene?
