Which statement is not correct about bacterial quorum sensing?

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling
  1. The regulation of gene expression in response to fluctuations in cell-population density.
  2. A type of bacterial interaction is found to be involved in the development of antibiotic resistance by the pathogenic microorganisms.
  3. In quorum sensing (QS), small molecules (QS factors), often called ‘auto-inducers’, serve as signals that are recognized in a population-independent manner.
  4. Allows bacteria to monitor the environment for other bacteria and to alter behaviour on a population-wide scale in response to changes in the number and/or species present in a community
