8 public questions tagged with this topic.

Peloria mutant of Linaria is caused due to inactivation of:

That points to C: CYCLOIDEA. Compared with the other options, CYCLOIDEA is the one that correctly describes the ABCE & ABCDE MODEL +Synapdrgon flowering concept. The wrong ones are A) DIV; B) RAD; D) AG. If you’re stuck, eliminate anything that contradicts a basic fact you already know for this topic.

Mutation in CYCLOIDEA gene leads to:

Correct option is B, Radial symmetry. In ABCE & ABCDE MODEL +Synapdrgon flowering problems like this, the accurate statement is Radial symmetry; the others are common mix-ups. Not these: A) Bilateral symmetry; C) Extra petals; D) Loss of sepals. Tissue transport questions usually turn on xylem vs phloem, living vs dead cells, or source vs sink.

RAD represses which gene to control ventral identity?

Pick C: DIV. Thinking through ABCE & ABCDE MODEL +Synapdrgon flowering step by step rules out the lookalikes and leaves DIV. Skip these: A) CYC; B) DICH; D) SEP. For hormones and genes, match the molecule or gene to its real role, not a neighboring pathway.
