Question
Chapter 43.4, Problem 2TC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
A possible genetic mechanism for the snake body structure that consist ribs from head to tail and also lack legs, based on homeobox genes.
Introduction:
A sequence of DNA present within the gene are called as homeobox gene. Homeobox genes are involved in the regulation and development of an anatomical structure of an organism.

Which statement is true of hox genes?
Group of answer choices
A. they regulate development of body regions and are found in all animals
B. they control the functioning of cells and are found in all life
C. they control growth and development in plants
D. they are only found in insects and control segmentation
Using the theory of natural selection, explain how giraffe necks evolved.
Research shows that Neandertals coexisted with at least three other species, including Homo sapiens. There are some humans today that have Neandertal and Denisovan genes.Â
Generate a hypothesis about how their genes are also a part of our genes.

Period of gestationarrow_forwardUse the following passage to answer the next two questions. Ducks are aquatic birds. Their feet are webbed and this trait makes them fast swimmers. Biologists believe that ducks evolved from land birds that did not have webbed feet. The amount of webbing on a duck's feet is a heritable trait. Q6.8. While webbed feet were evolving in ancestral ducks, with each generation: O Most ducks had about the same amount of webbing on their feet as their parents. Most ducks had more webbing on their feet than their parents. Most ducks had less webbing on their feet than their parents. The amount of webbing on ducks' feet had no relationship with the amount their parents had.arrow_forwardExplain how spider monkeys traits benefit them.arrow_forward
- Bipedalism has many selective advantages. However, there is one disadvantage to walking on two feet: giving birth to an offspring with a large head through a small pelvic opening, which is necessitated by an upright posture, is very difficult.
