Question
Chapter 43.4, Problem 2TC
Summary Introduction
To propose: A possible genetic mechanism for the development of specific body structure of snake, based on the homeobox genes.
Introduction: A sequence of DNA present within the gene is called as a homeobox gene. Homeobox genes are involved in the regulation and development of an anatomical structure of an organism.

What roles have been proposed for Hox genes in the evolution and morphology of animal species? Group of answer choices 1. Variation in the Hox genes may have spawned the formation of many new body plans. 2. All of these descriptions are correct. 3. The number and arrangement of Hox genes varies among different types of animals. 4. Increases in the number of Hox genes may have led to greater complexity in body structure.arrow_forwardResearch shows that Neandertals coexisted with at least three other species, including Homo sapiens.
