The vertebrate pax-6 gene product (the pax-6 protein) triggers a complex program of gene expression resulting in formation of th

e vertebrate eye, which has a single lens. the fly pax-6 gene leads to formation of the compound fly eye. when scientists cloned a mouse pax-6 gene and introduced it into a fly embryo, it led to formation of the compound eye of a fly. what did scientists induce from this? the vertebrate pax-6 gene product (the pax-6 protein) triggers a complex program of gene expression resulting in formation of the vertebrate eye, which has a single lens. the fly pax-6 gene leads to formation of the compound fly eye. when scientists cloned a mouse pax-6 gene and introduced it into a fly embryo, it led to formation of the compound eye of a fly. what did scientists induce from this?

The PAX-6 gene is a gene that translates to the PAX-6 protein that serves as a transcription factor needed to activate certain genes that functions in the development of the eyes. While PAX-6 gene may look like it produces different functions for different species (such as formation of the compound eye in insects vs. formation of a single lens eye in vertebrates), it does not. It does in fact only regulate the genes required for the formation of the eyes. Absence or mutation of the PAX-6 gene will cause aniridia or absence of the iris, opaque lens and cornea, and a dysfunctional retina. Also, the function of the PAX-6 protein is conserved throughout evolution of species.

Three of the most prominent definitions of species are the biological species concept, the phylogenetic species concept, and the
soldier1979 [14.2K]
We must first define these three prominent definitions of species. Biological species concept means that organisms resemble each other because of genes being passed from parent to offspring. Phylogenetic species concept means that organisms resemble each other because they evolved from a common ancestor. Lastly, morphological species concept characterizes species on the structure of their body parts rather than genetic or phylogeny. 

In this case, (1) biological species concept is not applicable for extinct species, (2) phylogenetic species concept is based on evolutionary history, (3) morphological species concept relies on similarities in structure, (4) Morphological and phylogenetic species concept accommodates asexual reproduction, and lastly (5) all species concepts are used by scientists in classification.
