Answer: B. False

Explanation:

“Hox” genes are a highly conserved group of genes, all of whose products are transcription factors bearing a specific domain (called a ”homeodomain”). The transcriptional activity of a large amount of genes relevant to embryonic development is controlled by regulatory sites which are able to bind to this domain. Changes in the transcriptional activity of even a single Hox gene may thus have dramatic downstream effects on the phenotype, as this will result in several further genes having their transcription either enhanced or suppressed.

Inga [223]

A pond organism that is unicellular, contains membrane-bound organelles and possesses a flagellum is a PROTISTA. It is a unicellular kingdom.

The Protista kingdom is composed of eukaryotic single-celled unicellular organisms.

Flagellated protists are microorganisms having a tail-like projection known as flagellum.

The flagellum is a structure used for motion, thereby, in general,  flagellated protists are found in moist environments (e.g., ponds, fresh-water, etc).

The right option is; b. anticipatory socialization.

Playing house as a child is a form of anticipatory socialization.

Anticipatory socialization is the process in which an individual changes his behaviors or learn new norms and values in preparation for a change in his role in the future. Playing house which is children’s game is a form of anticipatory socialization because when children play the game, they take the roles of a nuclear family such as children, parents, and newborns. Due to children’s experience with the game, they are prepared for adulthood.
