Two other major groups of flavonoids found in flowers and leaves of all green plants. The function of these two flavonoids in plants are____

a) protect plants against being eaten by herbivores and against being infected by microbial pathogens

b) Protect cells from excessive UV-B radiation (280–320 nm) because they accumulate in the epidermal layers of leaves and stems and absorb light strongly in the UV-B region       

c) flavones and flavonols secreted into the soil by legume roots mediate the interaction of legumes and nitrogen-fixing symbionts

d) They are are coloured terpenoid compounds that also serve as accessory pigments in photosynthesis

As well as synthesizing the transcript, RNA polymerase performs two proofreading functions on that growing transcript;

i. Pyrophosphorolytic editing

ii. Hydrolytic editing

Choose correct processes accordingly,

A. The polymerase backtracks by one or more nucleotides and cleaves the RNA product, removing the error-containing sequence.

B. In this, the enzyme uses its active site, in a simple back-reaction,

C. Catalyze the removal of an incorrectly inserted ribonucleotide, by reincorporation of PPi

D. The enzyme can then incorporate another ribonucleotide in its place in the growing RNA chain.
