<u>Answer</u>: Appear to function in similar ways across diverse groups of organisms.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The <em>hox</em> genes are a subset of homeotic genes.
  • The function of the hox genes is to control the development of the body plan of an individual during the embryonic stage.
  • Thus, the basic body form of an organism is laid down with the help of these genes.
  • <em>These genes are present in many different species from fruit fly to mice to humans</em>.
  • The reason that they are present in different organisms is that there was a common ancestor that possessed the hox gene cluster and then the genes were passed on to different vertebrates. However, the slight changes that have occurred in these genes are due to duplication events.

The answer is splitting of water molecules. This happens during the light stage of photosynthesis where light energy from the sun is absorbed by chlorophyll is used to split water molecules into hydrogen ions and  oxygen. This process is called photolysis. The hydrogen ions joins the dark stage or the light independent stage, while oxygen gas is either released to the atmosphere or used for cellular respiration.
