After an apical meristem has been redirected toward developing into a floral meristem,_______ are responsible for further refinement of the floral development pathway.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Floral organ identity genes, such as the ABC model genes, are responsible for controlling the development of specific floral organs and refining the floral development pathway. Hormones and light signals may play a role in floral development, but they do not specifically refine the pathway. Other mature floral meristems may also contribute to floral development, but this is not a necessary step in the refinement of the pathway.
