14 public questions tagged with this topic.

Loss of Class C gene function leads to formation of:

That points to C: Repeated sepals and petals. Compared with the other options, Repeated sepals and petals is the one that correctly describes the ABCE & ABCDE MODEL +Synapdrgon flowering concept. The wrong ones are A) Only sepals; B) Only petals; D) Leaf-like organs. If you’re stuck, eliminate anything that contradicts a basic fact you already know for this topic.

AGAMOUS (AG) gene mainly specifies:

Answer: C) Stamens and carpels. For ABCE & ABCDE MODEL +Synapdrgon flowering, remember the key idea and you’ll land on this option; the distractors usually swap cause and effect or confuse similar terms. Avoid: A) Sepals; B) Petals; D) Ovules. Name the process first, then pick the option that describes it — don’t reverse cause and effect.

Homeotic genes mainly encode:

Go with C — Transcription factors. Under ABC MODEL, this is the standard explanation you’d use in class: it names the real driver or definition, while the rest are nearby but wrong. Not these: A) Structural proteins; B) Enzymes; D) Hormones. When two options sound similar, choose the one that matches the textbook definition most tightly.

Loss of class C gene function leads to absence of:

That points to C: Stamens and carpels. Compared with the other options, Stamens and carpels is the one that correctly describes the ABC MODEL concept. The wrong ones are A) Sepals and petals; B) Petals and stamens; D) Sepals only. If you’re stuck, eliminate anything that contradicts a basic fact you already know for this topic.

Mutation in class B genes results in absence of:

Pick B: Petals and stamens. Thinking through ABC MODEL step by step rules out the lookalikes and leaves Petals and stamens. Skip these: A) Sepals and petals; C) Stamens and carpels; D) Sepals only. For hormones and genes, match the molecule or gene to its real role, not a neighboring pathway.

If class A genes are mutated, which organs are absent?

Pick A: Sepals and petals. Thinking through ABC MODEL step by step rules out the lookalikes and leaves Sepals and petals. Skip these: B) Petals and stamens; C) Stamens and carpels; D) Sepals and carpels. For hormones and genes, match the molecule or gene to its real role, not a neighboring pathway.

Class A and Class C genes show which interaction?

Pick C: Mutual antagonism. Thinking through ABC MODEL step by step rules out the lookalikes and leaves Mutual antagonism. Skip these: A) Synergistic; B) Independent; D) Co-dominance. For hormones and genes, match the molecule or gene to its real role, not a neighboring pathway.

Which gene alone specifies carpel identity?

Answer: C) AG. For ABC MODEL, remember the key idea and you’ll land on this option; the distractors usually swap cause and effect or confuse similar terms. Avoid: A) AP2; B) PI; D) AP3. Name the process first, then pick the option that describes it — don’t reverse cause and effect.

Class B + Class C gene expression gives rise to:

Answer: C) Stamens. For ABC MODEL, remember the key idea and you’ll land on this option; the distractors usually swap cause and effect or confuse similar terms. Avoid: A) Petals; B) Sepals; D) Carpels. Name the process first, then pick the option that describes it — don’t reverse cause and effect.

Which genes constitute class B in ABC model?

AP3 and PI (B) is correct here. This is core ABC MODEL: once you know the definition or pathway step, AP3 and PI is the clear fit. The wrong ones are A) AP1 and AP2; C) AG and SEP; D) LFY and AP1. If the topic is about gradients or potentials, water/solutes move from higher to lower of the relevant quantity.

Class A + Class B gene expression specifies:

Pick B: Petal. Thinking through ABC MODEL step by step rules out the lookalikes and leaves Petal. Skip these: A) Sepal; C) Stamen; D) Carpel. For hormones and genes, match the molecule or gene to its real role, not a neighboring pathway.

Which genes constitute class A in ABC model?

That points to C: AP1 and AP2. Compared with the other options, AP1 and AP2 is the one that correctly describes the ABC MODEL concept. The wrong ones are A) AP3 and PI; B) AG only; D) AP2 and AG. If you’re stuck, eliminate anything that contradicts a basic fact you already know for this topic.
