Following statements are regarding to the the floral quartet model and the underlying ABCDE model of organ identity determination in Arabidopsis thaliana.

A. Five floral organ identities (sepals, petals, stamens, carpels, and ovules) are specified by the formation of floral organ-specific tetrameric complexes of MADS-domain transcription factors that bind to two nearby enhancer elements, forming a DNA loop in between.

B. A complex of two class A proteins (APETALA 1) and two class E proteins  (SEPALLATA) determines petal identity.

C. A complex of one class A protein, one class E protein, and one of each of the class B proteins (APETALA 3 and PISTILLATA) determines sepal identity.

D. A complex of one class E protein, two class B proteins, and one class C protein (AGAMOUS) determines stamen identity, while a complex of two class E proteins and two class C proteins determines carpel identity.D. A complex of one class E protein, two class B proteins, and one class C protein (AGAMOUS) determines stamen identity, while a complex of two class E proteins and two class C proteins determines carpel identity.

E. A complex of one class E protein, one class C protein, and one of each of the class D proteins (SHATTERPROOF and SEEDSTICK) controls ovule identity.

Parents that are homozygous for different mutations a, b and c are crossed, producing offspring that are heterozygous as following

aa X bb        =  ab  (X)          

 bb X cc         =  bc  (Y)

aa X cc          =   ac  (Z)

If a and b belong to same locus but b and c belong to different locus then phenotype of heterozygote

Four different mutant lines showing similar phenotype were identified from a genetic screen. When genetic crosses among these mutants were carried out, the first mutant was found to complement the second, third and fourth mutant lines. However, no other complementation groups do the four mutant lines belongs to?
