Part A How could the duplication of the Hox gene complex help facilitate animal adaptive radiation? O The new gene copies helped facilitate the evolution of more complex body plans. O The new gene copies led to lower metabolic rates. It is unlikely that gene duplication events in the Hox complex played a role in the adaptive radiation of animals. O The new gene copies helped facilitate the evolution of smaller bodies. Reguest Answer Submit Previous Answers X Incorrect; Try Again; One attempt remaining

Birds are supposed to be the dinosaurs' closest relatives. List and explain five reasons why the Aves have been able to adapt (morphological traits) and survive in the ever-changing world we live into this day.
Scientists compare the structures of a chicken embryo and a human embryo at the same stage of development. They find that both vertebrates have similar shapes and structures, including the presence of gill slits and tails. How is this comparison of the embryos used as supporting evidence of evolution? A. The similarities suggest that chickens and humans are the direct descendants of modern day fish with tails and gill slits. B. The similarities suggest that vertebrates passthrough each of the adult stages of their evoluntionary history as they develop. C. The similarities suggest that vertebrates can undergo genetic changes during development that lead to the evolution of new species D. The similarities suggest that chickens and humans descend from ancestors with genes that code for the development of tails and gill slits
