Consider the following statements regarding phytochrome:

I. Pr is metabolically inactive and absorbs red light(660nm). On absorption of light it gets

   converted into a metabolically active Pfr.

II. Pfr converts back to Pr after absorbing far red light(730nm).

III. Treatment with red light (R) stimulates seed germination,whereas far red light (FR)

     inhibits seed germination.

   The correct statements are:

(1) I and II

(2) I and III

(3) I, II, III

(4) None

II. Long day plants flower when the day length is greater than a certain critical length

III. short day plants are actually long night plants and long day plants are actually short

     night plants. The correct statements are:
