What gene prevents the B gene from beingactive in the center of flowers?
In SUPERMAN mutants (SUP), the B activityexpands into the center of the flower and convertsthe two carpels into two stamens.

• All flower organs are converted into leaves in the abc triple mutant.
• The ABC genes are necessary to convert leaves into each of the flower organs.
• The A and B genes are necessary for petal development.
• What would happen if the A and B genes were mis-expressed in leaves? Are the A and B genes sufficient to convert normal leaves into petals?
D Activity is required forpetal, stamen and carpel development
• The D gene is expressed in cells that will form petals, stamens and carpels.
• The D gene is required for the activity of the B and C genes.

• The A, B and D genes are necessary for petal development.
• What would happen if the A, B and D genes were mis-expressed in leaves? Are the A, B and D genes sufficient to convert normal leaves into petals?

The ABCD genes act alone, or incombination, to specify the fourtypes of flower organs
The ABCD genes are sufficient to convert leaves into flower organs
The ABCD model is applicable to allflowering plants
What would happen if the C gene was mis-expressedin cells that would normally form sepals?
