Summary Introduction
To explain:
The process and reasons for the scientists to develop the weedy rice expressing the “booster” gene.
Concept introduction:
Pesticides are defined as the substances or mixtures of substances that are used to kill, destroy or prevent ant grow of the pesticides on the plants. These are the chemical compounds that are used in the agriculture to fight against the diseases and to destroy the weeds present.

Can you answer part a-c if its true or false
a) the AP3 and PI show auto- and cross-regulatory interactions, as well as they form obligate heterodimers to carry out the B class gene function. Therefore, if there is no PI expression, AP3 expression alone is not sufficient for establishing the petal and stamen identities.
b) Angiosperm is a group of plants whose seeds are borne within a mature ovary (fruit).
c) The organ in different organisms under every variety of forms and functions due to evolutionary development from the same or a corresponding part in a common ancestor is homologous.
