The gene (A, B or C) which is responsible for a floral mutation in Arabidopsis plant and whether this mutation causes sepals and petals to form instead of stamens and carpels in the plant. Introduction: ABC model of floral identity demonstrates the ways by which A, B or C genes in the angiosperms regulate the development of floral organs in the form of four whorls. Whorl 1 represents sepals, whorl 2 represents petals, whorl 3 represents stamens, and whorl 4 represents carpels.

What are biofertilizers and mention the significance

PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen. How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population? Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans? Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.
