A researcher studying a member of the Conus genus of cone snails discovers that there are many dozens of slightly different vari

ants of venom proteins coded by closely related genes. What is the most likely explanation for this great variation? [Hint: The compounds likely diversified in a similar way as the multiple globin proteins in mammals did.]a.Multiple gene duplication events have led to the production of a paralogous multigene family.b.Hybridization between two snail species has left the offspring with multiple orthologous genes.c.Duplicated genes underwent incomplete gene conversion, leading to many errors in sequence.d.Concerted evolution resulted in the production of many venom genes, scattered throughout the genome.e.The last common ancestor of all cone snails had a diverse set of venom genes that have been inherited by all cone snails

Answer:

a. Multiple gene duplication events have led to the production of a paralogous multigene family.

Explanation:

A globin gene family consists of several clusters of related genes formed by duplication of an ancestral gene. The different variants of venom proteins coded by closely related genes can reply this ancestral gene, forming this way a globin gene family in Cone snails.

In plants, which of the following are produced by meiosis?
prisoha [69]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c. Haploid spores.

Explanation:

In the plants, spores are normally unicellular and haploid and produced by the process of meiosis in the sporophytic body of the plant.

These haploid spores undergo the mitotic division and develop a new individual called gametophyte that forms gametes eventually.

Thus, the correct answer is option C. Haploid spores.

Which of the following is/are true?
Softa [21]

Answer: Only Options A, C and E are correct

A) Sympatric speciation is best described as a random event that disrupts the allele frequencies in a population

C) Sympatric speciation does not require geographic isolation.

E) Sympatric speciation can be due to sexual(mate) selection

Explanation:

Sympatric speciation is a random or naturally occurring event whereby organisms of the same species:

> live in the same territory or nearby territories ( i.e not living in isolation)

> DO NOT interbreed, but select a sexual mate from a much diverse territory which results in an uneven gene flow or disruption of alleles among the population of same species of the parents organisms.
