Following statements are regarding to cell death and its regulation.

A. In mammals, apoptosis can be triggered by oligomerization of Bax or Bak proteins in the outer mitochondrial membrane, leading to efflux of cytochrome c and SMAC/DIABLO proteins into the cytosol; these proteins then promote caspase activation and cell death.

B. Direct interactions between pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic proteins lead to cell death in the absence of trophic factors.

C. Direct interactions between pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic proteins lead to cell death in the presence of trophic factors.

D. Once activated, apoptotic proteases called caspases cleave specific intracellular substrates, leading to the demise of a cell.

The signal transduction pathways that lead to physiological or developmental responses, these responses fall into two general categories;

a) Ion fluxes, which cause relatively rapid turgor responses

b) the possible chain of events constituting the signal transduction pathways that bring about these effects

c) Altered gene expression, which typically results in longer-term responses

d) Gene expression altered shows short-term response

Both PHYA and PHYB activate the transcription of LHCB gene for its expression, there following events occur during the activation of LHCB gene such as;

a) PhyA, both form is activated Pr and Pfr by phosphorylation Pr form move into the nucleus activate the light-regulated gene expression during degradation of the HY5 by COP1

b) PhyA, Pfr form is activated by phosphorylation and move into the nucleus where it’s export the COP1 out of the nucleus, and activate the light-regulated gene expression

c) Phy B, activated phosphorylated Pfr form is move into the nucleus and binds to a dimer of the transcription factor PIF3, by inibiting PIF3 expression activate the transcription of LHCB gene by intermediate transcriptional factor MYB

d) Phy B, activated unphosphorylated Pfr form is move into the nucleus and binds to a monomer of the transcription factor PIF3, by inibiting PIF3 expression activate the transcription of MYB gene by intermediate transcriptional factor LHCB

Which of the following combination of the above statements of phytochrome forms is correct?
