What is the most probable explanation for the continued presence of pseudogenes in a genome such as our own?

#Unit 11. Evolution and Behavior
  1. They are genes that had a function at one time, but that have lost their function because they have been translocated to a new location.

  2. They are genes that have accumulated mutations to such a degree that they would code for different functional products if activated.

  3. They are duplicates or near duplicates of functional genes but cannot function because they would provide inappropriate dosage of protein products.

  4. They are genes that are not expressed, even though they have nearly identical sequences to expressed genes.

The following statements are made to describe the biosynthetic pathway of IAA;

a)  IPA pathway involves a deamination reaction to form IPA, followed by a decarboxylation reaction to form indole-3-acetaldehyde (IAld) and then oxidized to IAA by a specific dehydrogenase

b) IAN pathway is similar to the IPA pathway, except that the order of the deamination and decarboxylation reactions is reversed, and different enzymes are involved

c) IAM pathway  involves the two enzymes  tryptophan monooxygenase and IAM hydrolase

d) In the IAN pathway, tryptophan is first converted to indole-3-acetaldoxime and then to indole-3-acetonitrile. The enzyme that converts IAN to IAA is called nitrilase

Which of the following is the correct  statements  of about the biosynthesis of  IAA?
