In Arabidopsis thaliana, the transition to flowering involves multiple factors, pathways and meristem identity genes. Following statements regarding to the mechanism and function of meristem identity genes.

 A. FT mRNA is expressed in companion cells of the leaf vein in response to multiple signals, including day length, light quality, and temperature.

 B. The FT–FD complex activates AP1 in the inflorescence meristem and SOC1 in the floral meristem, which triggers LFY gene expression.

 C. LFY and AP1 trigger expression of the floral homeotic genes.

 D. FLC acts as a negative regulator of SOC1 in the meristem and as a negative regulator of FT in the leaves.

 Which of the following is incorrect?

During ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation in various events of cell cycle, ubiquitin-protein ligases ubiquitinylate substrate proteins, marking them for degradation by proteasomes. Cyclins are degraded through the action of two different ubiquitin-protein ligases, SCF and the anaphase-promoting complex or cyclosome. Following statements are regarding to SCF and APC/C.

A. SCF controls the G1–S phase transition by degrading G1/S phase cyclins and, CDK inhibitory proteins.

B. APC/C degrades S phase and mitotic cyclins, thereby promoting the exit from mitosis.

C. SCF and APC/C are multi-subunit ubiquitin-protein ligases that belong to the RING finger family of ubiquitin protein ligases.

D. SCF and APC/C belong to the different ubiquitin-protein ligase family, their regulation is same.

E. SCF recognizes its substrates only when they are phosphorylated.

F. SCF and APC/C both recognizes its substrates only when they are phosphorylated.

Use the figure to answer the question below. The unlettered circle at the top of the figure shows a diploid nucleus with four chromosomes that have not yet replicated. There are two pairs of homologous chromosomes, one long and the other short. One haploid set is black, and the other is gray. The circles labeled A to E show various combinations of these chromosomes. What is the correct chromosomal condition for one daughter nucleus at telophase of mitosis?
