Which of the following does not happen during nodule formation?

(1) Rhizobium bacteria contact a susceptible root hair, divide near it

(2) Successful infection of root hair causes it to curl

(3) Infected thread carries the bacteria to the inner cortex

(4) The bacteria get modified into rod shaped bacteroides and cause inner cortical and endodermal cells to divide
