Plant sensory system

The plant sensory system is a sophisticated system that responds to environmental stimuli such as light,temperature, gravity, and touch. Research predicts that plant hormones and signaling mechanisms areresponsible for this regulation system in plants.

The drooping, bell-like flower Aquilegia canadensis is adapted for cross-pollination. However, if the plant has not been pollinated previously, self-pollination can occur.

The image below represents a flower meristem viewed from above. At the time the image represents, the cells are undifferentiated, although their eventual fates are determined (e.g. carpels, etc.). The rectangles indicate the regions of the meristem where particular genes (A, B, and C) are expressed. Note that these genes are expressed all around the circumference of the meristem at the location indicated; in other words, gene A is active in all cells in the rings labeled sepal and petals. Interpret the figure by filling in the following table: I've numbered each row to help with writing the answer below. Determined by the activity of which gene(s) - A,B,C? Organ Carpel 1. Stamen 2.
