- (B) petal-petal-stamen-stamen
- (C) sepal-carpel-carpel-sepal

Students have asked these similar questions
In some species, such as magnolia, sepals look like petals, and both are collectively called "tepals:' Suggest an extension to the ABC model that could hypothetically account for the origin of tepals.
from the fruit of wild daisy, there are hair like structures, what do these structures represent in the flower from which the fruit was derived?
Monoecious plants such as corn have either staminate or carpelate flowers. Knowing what you do about the molecular mechanisms of floral development, which of the following might explain the development of single-sex flowers?
a. Expression of B-type genes in the presumptive carpel whorl will generate staminate flowers.
b. Loss of A-type genes in the presumptive petal whorl will allow C-type and B-type genes to produce stamens instead of petals in that whorl.
c. Restricting B-type gene expression to the presumptive petal whorl will generate carpelate flowers.
d. All of the choices are correct.

- INTERPRET DATA Flower parts are arranged in four concentric circles: sepals, petals, stamens, and carpel. According to the ABC model of floral organ development in Arabidopsis, class A genes are needed to specify sepals, the A and B genes to specify petals, the B and C genes to specify stamens, and class C genes to specify the carpel. If a mutation occurs in one of the B genes, rendering it inactive, what will the resulting flowers consist of?arrow_forwardDiscuss Concepts Compare the size, anatomical complexity, and degree of independence of a Douglas fir female gametophyte and a dogwood female gametophyte.

If it is transferred from the stamen of one flower to the stigma of another flower on a different plant, but a plant that is a clone of the first one?

Why cannot most animals fertilize themselves?arrow_forward
