Following are certain statements are related to the effect of red and far-red light;

a) under a dense canopy much of the red light is absorbed by plant pigments, resulting in transmittance of mostly far-red light

b) Pr (red) has highest photon flux at 680 nm while Pfr (far-red) has highest photon flux at 730nm

c) Pfr far-red light–absorbing form, which is considered to be the physiologically active form of phytochrome

d) R:FR ratio is strongly affected by the presence of a canopy because chlorophyll absorbs far-red but not red light

Which one of the combinations of above statements is incorrect?

Wild type E. coli metabolizes the sugar lactose by expressing the enzyme ß-galactosidase. You have isolated a mutant that you call lac1–, which cannot synthesize ß-galactosidase and cannot grow on lactose (Lac–). During an condition you have a wild type (Lac+) strain carrying a Tn5 insertion known to be near several Lac genes on the E. coli chromosome. You grow P1 phage on this strain and use the resulting phage lysate to infect the lac1– strain, selecting for kanamycin resistance (Kanr). Among 100 Kanr transductants, you find that 82 are Lac– and 18 are Lac+. Express the distance between Tn5 and the lac1– mutation as a cotransduction frequency;
