The figure shows population growth trajectories over time (as indicated by the arrows) of two stored-grain beetle  species  when  grown  together  under  constant  conditions.  Three  experiments  were  performed  that  differed only in the initial densities of the two species. Which of the following is the best interpretation of the experimental results?

Phytochromes  involved  in  red/far‐red  response  are  dimeric  chromoproteins contains N-terminal and C-terminal moiety have domains, which perform various functions such as;

a) Photochromobillin attach with the N-terminal GAF domain, it is an enzyme which causes isomerisation activity in the phytochromobilin

b) PAS-GAF-PHY is a photosensory domain

c) PAS domain perform the lyase activity at C-14 and C-15, which creates a double bond

d) PRD is PAS related domain which involve in import of Phy-B in the nucleus

Which of the following combinations of domain functions is incorrect?

b) It promotes de-etiolation

c) promotes internode elongation and flowering

d) It promotes the production of anthocyanin

The conversion of Pr to Pfr by red light, both phyA and phyB move from the cytosol into the nucleus in a light-dependent fashion.

a) Both have nuclear localization signal (NLS) sequences

b) PRD domain of phyB can potentially serve as an NLS, but it is apparently masked in the Pr form

c) phyA dependent on other proteins, such as FAR-RED ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL1 (FHY1) facilitating phyA’s transport it into the nucleus

d) Both phyA and phyB have PRD domain serve as an NLS and responsible for import into the nucleus only in pfr form may expose the functional NLS of the PRD domain

Which of the following factors is involved for transporting phyA and B into the nucleus?
