Answer:
The duplication of a cluster of four Hox genes is equally likely as the duplication of a single Hox gene.
Explanation:
This comes from the definition of the parsimony principle, which is the action of choosing the simplest scientific explanation fitting the given evidence, meaning that all other elements are equal when evaluating the hypothesis. In biology the best hypothesis is the one that requires the fewest evolutionary changes.
Since three independent duplications of an individual Hox gene is in evolutionary terms, more complex than a single duplication or a cluster, then that hypothesis would be the most parsimonious.
Sensory neurons are types of brain cells that convert the stimuli coming from the senses (hearing, touch, smell, taste, and sight) into information that would allow the brain to interpret it as a sensation. For example, they convert the messages from the optical nerve if the object is of a light color or not.
Answer:
A living organism's position in the flow of energy through an ecosystem.
I think it's option four because as far as I know, red/green color blindness is an example of a recessive, sex-linked trait (encoded on the X chromosome), which results in much more men to suffer from it than women.
Hope that helps!
