Question

The ABC model of flower development suggests that genes A, B, and C may work alone or together to form different flower organs and may transform one organ into another when inactivated. Therefore, option D is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because each gene is not responsible for a single organ formation. Option B is partially correct but does not mention the possibility of organ transformation. Option C is incorrect because it implies that each gene can transform organs, which is not true. Option E is incorrect because it oversimplifies the role of each gene and does not mention the possibility of organ transformation.
