Answer:

D. The insect develops legs in other parts of its body.

Explanation:

HOX genes, also known as homeotic genes, are evolutionarily conserved genes (containing homeobox sequences) that encode master regulators of embryonic development in animals. Hox genes modulate the body plan of an embryo along the head-tail axis. In general, these genes are arranged in the same order as they are transcriptionally expressed along the anteroposterior body axis. Moreover, Ultrabithorax (Ubx) is a Hox gene that is responsible for the proper development of the third thoracic segment in insects. In <em>Drosophila</em>, it has been shown that different segments of the leg regulate their size in response to Ubx expression.

Answer:

Ecology is the study of environment and biology is study of plant and animals.The interrelationship between an organism and environment

Explanation:

Ecology is the study of organisms, its distribution, abundance,interrelationship with another organism and the interaction of organisms with their environment in which they adapt to survive.

Sunlight is the main source of energy for living beings on earth. Movement of energy flow and nutrient cycle plays a significant role in living beings.

In ecology there are different levels of organization such as species,  population community,ecosystem,biome and biosphere.

There are different cycles which an organism required to survive, carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, oxygen cycle, phosphorous cycle, and of course the most basic thing to survive is the water cycle. All these cycles coming under one term called the biogeochemical cycle.

The ecological pyramids such as pyramids of an ecosystem, pyramids of number pyramids of energy flow and pyramids of biomass based on these pyramids living things survive.
