When plants make flowers, gene A is expressedin whorls 1 and 2, gene B is expressed in whorls 2 and 3 and gene C in whorls 3 and
Sati [7]

Answer:

The correct answer would be option D) no gametes.

Explanation:

The ABC model of the flower was formulated to describe the collection of genetic procedures that determines floral organs in several plants. These species consist of four whorls which are sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels. These whorls are expressed by the expression of a number of genes present in each whorl or verticli.

Gene A is solely responsible for the sepals while the co-expression of A and B genes are responsible for the petals. The identity of the stamens is expressed by B and C and the carpels require C and D genes to be active.

The homozygousity for a normal mutation in gene C will lead to inactive or lack stamens and carpels, which are male and female reproductive organs. These are an important structure for forming gametes.

Thus, the correct answer would be option D) no gametes.

Some inbred strains of the weedy plant Arabidopsis thaliana flower early in the growing season, but other strains flower at late
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

a. Let us consider that L is responsible for late and l is responsible for early. From the mentioned data, it can be concluded that allele L or late is dominant over early. By crossing plants 1 and 4 we get the expected ratio of 3: 1, which shows that it follows Mendel's law of dominant.  

b. The genotype of all the four plants are:  

1st plant = Ll

2nd plant = ll

3rd plant = LL

4th plant = Ll

c. If the plant 1 is self-fertilized then the expected progeny will be 3 (late): 1 (early).  

In case if the 2nd plant is self-fertilized, the expected progeny will be only early.  

In case if the 3rd plant is self-fertilized, the expected progeny will be only late.  

In case if the 4th plant is self-fertilized, the expected progeny will be 3 (late): 1 (early).
