Extinction is a natural phenomenon. It is estimated that 99% of all species that ever lived are now extinct. Why then do we say that we are now in a biodiversity crisis?

#SCPH06 I Botany
  1. Humans are ethically responsible for protecting endangered species.
  2. Scientists have finally identified most of the species on earth and are thus able to Quantify the number of species becoming extinct.
  3. The current rate of extinction is high and human activities threaten biodiversity at all levels.
  4. Humans  have  greater  medical  needs  than  at  any  other  time  in  history,  and  many  potential  medicinal compounds are being lost as plant species become extinct.

Gibberellin is an important plant hormone that regulates several aspects of plant growth and development. Some statements are given below in relation to  signalling pathways:

a) The binding of gibberellin (GA) to its receptor leads to the degradation of the DELLA repressor by the 26S proteasome

b) Gibberellin binds to the GID1 receptor and induces a conformational change in the N-terminal domain of the receptor, allowing the receptor to interact with the TVHYNP and DELLA domains of the DELLA repressor

c) The formation of the GID1-repressor complex promotes the interaction between the repressor and the E3 ubiquitin ligase SCFTIR1 complex, leading to the ubiquitination and degradation

d) The gibberellin receptor GIBBERELLIN INSENSITIVE DWARF 1 (GID1) also itself function as an F-box protein

Which one of the following is the incorrect statements about GA  signalling pathway;
