The ‘quartet model’ explains how the protein products of the ABCE-function genes might interact to control floral organ identity. Following statements are based on this model. Which one of them is incorrect?

#I Life Science/ Life Sciences Group – I-V
  1. There are four combinations of floral MADS-box proteins. SEP proteins may form heterodimers with A (AP1) and B (AP3/ PI) proteins (for petals), B (AP3/PI) and C(AG) proteins (for stamens), and C (AG) protein (for carpels).
  2. All these genes, with the exception of AP2 (and its homologues), are MADS-box genes, a broad family of eukaryotic genes that encode transcription factors containing a highly conserved DNA-binding domain (MADS domain).
  3. The protein quartets are transcription factors and may function by binding to the promoter regions of target genes.
  4. According to the model, one dimer of each tetramer recognize two different sites on the same DNA strand, thus bringing these areas into proximity via DNA-bending.

Ten people are sitting in a row. Their objective is to whisper a secret from one person to the next all the way down the row. The first person whispers the secret to the second person who passes the secret to the third person and so on. After whispering to the third person, the second person in the row notices the ninth person has fallen asleep in their chair, so she gets up, goes down the row and shakes person nine awake. This example is similar to ________.
