Question
Chapter 30.3, Problem 3C
Summary Introduction
To explain: The way in which the discovery of Hox genes helped biologists to understand animal evolution.
Concept introduction: Animal phylogeny is a rapidly changing field. Even if the members of animal kingdom are incredibly diverse, there are various animals sharing certain features that differentiate them from other organisms of the kingdom. Biologists mostly depend on the fossils to compare the similarities of body plan and the pattern of development to determine the evolutionary relationships among various animal groups.
