Three main classes of photoreceptors mediate the effects of UV-A/blue light:

a) the cryptochromes,

b) the phototropins,

c) the phytochrome and

d) the ZEITLUPE (ZTL)

Function of these photoreceptors are-

i) that can promote plant photomorphogenesis

ii) plays roles in day length perception and circadian rhythms

iii) regulate chloroplast movements, and stomatal opening

A classic biochemical experiment nicely illustrated the point that the ribosome recognizes tRNA and not the amino acid that it is carrying. In that following observation were made. Which of them can be correct.

A. The cysteine attached to cysteine-tRNACys can be converted to an alanine by chemical reduction to give alanine-tRNACys.

B. Alanine-tRNACys introduces alanines at codons that specify insertion of cysteine.

C. Different mechanism is used to incorporate selenocyteine on tRNA as selenocysteine is incorporated into proteins by chemical modification after translation

D. Selenocysteine is generated enzymatically from serine carried on a special tRNA that is charged by serine-tRNA synthetase

E. Above examples can conclude that the translation machinery relies on the high fidelity of the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases to ensure the accurate decoding of each mRNA
