The stages of gibberellin biosynthesis takes place various organelles and completed in various forms such as;

a) In the endoplasmic  reticulum GA12 is converted to GA53 by hydroxylation at C-13

b) In the cytosol GA12 is converted via 13-hydroxylation pathway into GA9 and further converted into GA4 by 3-β-Hydroxylation

c) In the cytosol GA53 is converted via 13-Hydroxylation pathway into GA20 and further converted into GA1 by 3-β-Hydroxylation

d) Hydroxylation at C-2 then converts GA4 and GA1 to the inactive forms GA34 and GA8, respectively

Typically, mutations that modify the active site of an enzyme are more likely to be harmful than mutations that affect other parts of the enzyme. A hypothetical enzyme consists of four domains (A—D), and the amino acid sequences of these four domains have been determined in five related species. Given the proportion of amino acid homologies among the five species at each of the four domains, which domain probably contains the active site?
