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.

Members of Chondrichthyes are thought to be descended from fishes that had ________.
ella [17]

The correct answer is B. A bony skeleton

Explanation:

In biology, Chondrichthyes are mainly marine jawed fishes that have cartilage skeletons rather than bone skeletons and also they have paired fins, this includes animals such as rays and sharks. In terms of origin, it is believed this type of fishes are mainly linked to placoderms that were a type of primitive fish that lived during the Devonian period that had a body skeleton as they were covered by hard structures called plates made of bone. Because of this, it is believed this structures evolved into less rigid ones made of cartilage although both the primitive fish and modern Chondrictyles share features such as the structure of jaws. Therefore, Chondrictyles descended from fishes that had a bony skeleton.
