Elevated plastid levels of glutamine stimulate the activity of glutamate synthase (also known as glutamine:2- oxoglutarate aminotransferase, or GOGAT). Given below some of the statements about GOGAT, which one of the following is incorrect?

#XL - Q Biochemistry
  1. Plants contain two types of GOGAT; one accepts electrons from NADH, and the other accepts electrons from ferredoxin (Fd)
  2. The NADH type of the enzyme (NADH-GOGAT) is located in plastids of nonphotosynthetic tissues such as roots or the vascular bundles of developing leaves
  3. The ferredoxin-dependent type of glutamate synthase (Fd-GOGAT) is found in chloroplasts and serves in photorespiratory nitrogen metabolism
  4. This enzyme transfers the amide group of glutamate to 2-oxoglutarate, yielding two molecules of glutamine

The body weight of offspring of bird species is range between 12 gm to 18 gm. In a laboratory experiment, species was subjected to selection pressure having influence on the offspring body weight. After many generations of experimental selection pressure, the body weight range between 16 gm to 24 gm. Which of the following natural selection operate on this species?
