Question

Some types of gene are more highly conserved than others since their pathways or phenomena are fundamental to the growth and proliferation of all cells, including bacteria, and thus are likely to be highly conserved from species to species. For each of the following pairs of gene functions, choose the one that is more likely to be highly conserved.A. genes involved in sexual reproduction / genes involved in sugar metabolismB. DNA replication / developmental pathwaysC. hormone production / lipid synthesis

Answer 1

Answer: Sugar metabolism , DNA replication  and lipid synthesis.

Explanation:

The pathways or the phenomenon is very fundamental that takes place in all the living organisms.

These processes are fundamental to life and is vital for the growth and development of the organism. The cell proliferation and growth is also very essential in case of bacteria.

hence, these processes are highly conserved from one species to another species.
