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

A. For processive DNA synthesis, proofreading occurs without releasing the DNA from the polymerase

B. When a mismatched base pair is present in the polymerase active site, the primer:template junction is destabilize

C. The DNA polymerase active site binds such a mismatched template poorly, but the exonuclease active site has a 10-fold higher affinity.

D. The incorrect nucleotide is removed by the 5’-3’-exonuclease nuclease activity
