Which of the following correctly describes the sequence of events by which the position of limbs along the antero-posterior axis of vertebrates is specified?

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology
  1. Hox gene expression in the mesoderm activates Wnt signaling, which turns on FGF expression and formation of the limb bud.
  2. Wnt signaling activates Hox gene expression, which turns on FGF expression and formation of the limb bud.
  3. FGF expression in the mesoderm activates Wnt signaling, which turns on Hox gene expression and formation of the limb bud.
  4. Hox gene expression in the mesoderm activates FGF signaling, which turns on Wnt expression and formation of the limb bud.

As in all G protein–coupled signalling pathways, timely termination of the rhodopsin signalling pathway requires that all the activated intermediates be inactivated rapidly, restoring the system to its basal state, ready for signalling again. Which of the following mechanism does not terminate rhodopsin signalling?
