NH4+ is toxic to plants, inhibit dinitrogenase and also interfere energy metabolism by dissociating ATP formation  from ETC  in both mitochondria and chloroplasts. What will plant cells do to avoid this problem?

a) Plant cells avoid ammonium toxicity by rapidly converting the ammonium generated from nitrate assimilation or photorespiration into nitrate

b) Plant cells avoid ammonium toxicity by rapidly converting the ammonium generated from nitrate assimilation or photorespiration into amino acids

c) The pathway for this conversion involves the sequential actions of glutamine synthetase (GS) and glutamate synthase (GOGAT)

d) The pathway for this conversion involves the sequential actions of Aspartate aminotransferase (Asp-AT) and Asparagine synthetase (AS)

Which of the above statements is incorrect?

Biologists performed an experiment with flies to examine the effects of population size on the maintenance of genetic variation  and  on  egg-to-adult survival.  From  a  large  source  population, they  randomly  assigned  eggs  to  three experimental  populations  of  size  N,  equal  to  20,  60,  and0100.  For  later  generations,  they  collected  N  eggs  from each  population  and  moved  them  into  identical  vials  that  co0ntained  f2re0sh  me4d0ium.  Th6e0y  coun8te0d  the  number  of adult flies that emerged and used tissue samples from the adults for genetic analyses. Genetic variation was measured by  scoring  alleles  at  several  polymorphic  loci  and  expressed  as  the  average  number  of  alleles  at  those  loci.  The results are summarized in Figure 1 and Figure 2 below.

Which process best explains the dynamics of genetic variation observed in this experiment?
