In what way are the homeotic genes of flowering plants similar to those of Drosophila and other animals?

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology
  1. all homeotic genes are transcription factors of the homeobox class.
  2. the homeotic genes of flowers are derived during evolution from the same primordial genes used in animals.
  3. mutations in the homeotic genes of flowers cause transformation of one organ into another.
  4. the homeotic genes of plants are arranged in a cluster on the chromosome, and are expressed from one end to the other in an anterior-posterior order.
