Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MADS-box genes are a group of transcription factors expressed in plants, particularly in leaves, roots, and flowers, where they play crucial roles in regulating floral development and determining floral organ identity. While some MADS-box genes have been found in animals such as fruit flies and fish, they do not primarily affect fruit fly development (A), segmentation in animals (B), or lateral lines in fish (D).
