According to the ABC model of flower development in Arabidopsis, three classes of organ identity genes— designated A, B, and C— are required to specify the identity of floral organs in each whorl of a flower. If wild type Arabidopsis were transformed with a chimeric gene composed of a C class promoter fused to a B class coding sequence, which of the following arrangements   (outer to inner) would be predicted?

Following statements regarding to the classes of genes that regulate floral development:

A.  Floral organ identity genes directly control floral identity. The proteins encoded by these genes are transcription factors that likely control the expression of other genes whose products are involved in the formation and/or function of floral organs.

B.  Cadastral genes act as spatial regulators of the floral organ identity genes by setting boundaries for their expression.

C.   Meristem identity genes are necessary for the initial induction of the organ identity genes. These genes are the positive regulators of floral organ identity.

D.  Cadastral genes act as negative regulators of the floral organ identity genes by inhibits their expression.

E.   Meristem identity genes are the negative regulators of floral organ identity genes.

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology

Programmed cell death, or apoptosis, is an essential part of animal development. In the nematode, with its invariant cell lineage, particular cell lineages or particular cells within specific lineages are destined to end in programmed cell death, and it was this feature that allowed the identification of the process and the analysis of its genetic control.

Which of the following combination of genes are correct?
