Q. No.Identify the incorrect statement regarding the light independent reactions in photosynthesis:
1. These reactions occur in the stroma.
2. They use the products (ATP and NADPH) of light-dependent reactions.
3. They occur in the absence of light and hence are called the dark reactions.
4. The three phases are carbon fixation, reduction reactions, and ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) regeneration.

Consider the following two statements regarding RuBisCO:
| I: | When carbon dioxide is the substrate, the product of the carboxylase reaction is finally two molecules of glycerate-3-phosphate. |
| II: | When molecular oxygen is the substrate, the products of the oxygenase reaction are two molecules of phosphoglycolate. |
| 1. | Only I is correct | 2. | Only II is correct |
| 3. | Both I and II are correct | 4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
