Answer 1

1. Angiosperm reproduction involves conversion of a apical meristem to a floral meristem.

Flowering only occurs when apical meristem converts to floral meristem.

2. This change occurs due to expression of floral meristem identity genes.

These genes are respinsible for the conversion of shoot into flower.

3. These genes then activates floral organ identity genes

4. The ABC model discribes how organ identity genes function to produce floral organs.

5. The class A genes specify development of sepals.

6. The A and B genes specify development of petals.

7. The class B and C genes specify the development of stamens.

8. Finally the class C specify the development of carpels.
