A pure-breeding strain of squash that produced disk-shaped fruits was crossed with a pure breeding strain having long fruits. The F1 had disk fruits, but the F2 showed a new phenotype, sphere, and was composed of the following proportions

Disk  384            

Sphere 96

 Long  32

What is reason for F2 phenotype?

Gibberellin is an important plant hormone that regulates several aspects of plant growth and development. Some statements are given below in relation to  signalling pathways:

a) The binding of gibberellin (GA) to its receptor leads to the degradation of the DELLA repressor by the 26S proteasome

b) Gibberellin binds to the GID1 receptor and induces a conformational change in the N-terminal domain of the receptor, allowing the receptor to interact with the TVHYNP and DELLA domains of the DELLA repressor

c) The formation of the GID1-repressor complex promotes the interaction between the repressor and the E3 ubiquitin ligase SCF^TIR1 complex, leading to the ubiquitination and degradation

d) The gibberellin receptor GIBBERELLIN INSENSITIVE DWARF 1 (GID1) also itself function as an F-box protein

Which one of the following is the incorrect statements about GA  signalling pathway;
