Some xanthophylls also participate in energy dissipation such as in light conversion of Violaxanthin to Zeaxanthin with antheraxanthin as the intermediate and vice-versa, which of the following statements is CORRECT?
a.) The conversion of Violaxanthin to Zeaxanthin a singlet oxygen is removed with the help of co-factor Ascorbate and violaxanthin de-epoxidase under high PPFD
b.) Zeaxanthin is oxidised into violaxanthin with the help of NADPH and oxygen under low PPFD
c.) Conversion of Violaxanthin to Zeaxanthin a singlet oxygen is removed with the help of NADPH and water under low PPFD
d.) Zeaxanthin is oxidised into violaxanthin in presence of enzyme known as violaxanthin de-epoxidase and co-factor Ascorbate under high PPFD

In the 5—7 million years that the hominid lineage has been diverging from its common ancestor with the great apes, dozens of hominid species have arisen, often with several species coexisting in time and space. As recently as 30,000 years ago, Homo sapiens coexisted with Homo neanderthalensis. Both species had large brains and advanced intellects. The fact that these traits were common to both species is most easily explained by which of the following?

Following are the statements related to mammalian chaemotaxis:
A. During chaemotaxis, the oocyte and its accompanying cumulus cells secrete molecules that attract only uncapacitated sperm toward the egg during the last stages of sperm migration.
B. These chaemotactic compound are hormone progesterone, which is made by the cumulus cells.
C. Progesterone has been shown to bind to a receptor that activates Ca2+ channels in the cell membrane of the sperm tail, leading to sperm hyperactivity and provides directional cue.
D. Cumulus cells also secrete a substance, CRISP1, that attracts sperm and hyperactivates them through CatSper channels similar as in sea urchins.
Which of the following statement is incorrect?
