Expansins belong to a large superfamily of proteins, divided into two major expansin families, α-expansins (EXPAs) and β-expansins (EXPBs), what is the function of these two?

a) EXPAs are more active on eudicot cell walls,whereas EXPBs are more active on grass cell walls

b) EXPAs are more active on grass cell walls, whereas EXPBs are more active on eudicot cell walls

c) EXPAs loosen cellulose–cellulose junctions containing xyloglucan, whereas EXPBs loosen wall complexes containing GAX

d) EXPAs loosen wall complexes containing GAX, whereas EXPBs loosen cellulose–cellulose junctions containing xyloglucan

Precision will be reduced, but yield will be increased
Optimisation of a PCR reaction is often a compromise between the competing demands for precision, efficiency and yield. Although the specific effects may vary, generally, increasing the annealing temperature will increase non-specific primer binding and reduce precision. Increasing the length of the elongation phase will reduce the proportion of incomplete newly-synthesised strands and therefore increase yield. In this case, the potential effect on efficiency is unclear. Increasing the elongation phase would increase the reaction time, but the time taken to ramp down to a lower annealing temperature would be reduced.
