Some herbicides such as dichlorophenyldimethylurea (DCMU, also known as diuron) and paraquat, block photosynthetic electron flow from where ?
a.) DCMU blocks electron flow at the quinone acceptors of PSII, by competing for the binding site of plastoquinone that is normally occupied by PQB
b.) Paraquat accepts electrons from the early acceptors of PSI and then reacts with oxygen to form superoxide, O2 – , a species that is very damaging to chloroplast components
c.) DCMU blocks electron flow at the pheophytin acceptors of PSII, by competing for the binding site of pheophytin
d.) Paraquat accepts electrons from the Iron-sulfur system of PSI and then reacts with oxygen to form superoxide, O2 – , a species that is very damaging to chloroplast components

Incorrect pairing of bases during bacterial DNA replication occurs about once every 10^5 to 10^6 nucleotides, but the spontaneous mutation rate is only one error in 10^9 base pairs. What accounts for the difference?
