a) What is the role of the LEAFY gene in floral development?
(b) What is the phenotype of the leafy mutant?
(c) Most of the ABC program genes are directly regulated by the transcription factor LEAFY (LFY). Still, LFY is expressed broadly throughout the floral meristem when the discrete A, B, and C domains are established. Discuss how this single broadly expressed transcription factor can generate distinct domains of ABC gene expression. Feel free to use diagrams.

- What is true of the Progress Zone model? a) the length of time a cell resides in the progress zone dictates its identity along the proximodistal axis b) it is consistent with the outcome of removing the AER at successively later stages of limb development c) once a cell leaves the progress zone, its identity is established along the proximodistal axis d) cells of the progress zone are stimulated to divide by the AER e) all of the above You isolate a new mutant chicken strain in which limb outgrowth is severely curtailed.
