Researchers used DNA sequencing techniques to find similarities of Hox genes in roundworms, arthropods, mollusks, echinoderms, c
ephalochordates, and vertebrates. What did they find out about these genes? Select all that apply. A. Hox genes provide information about evolutionary relationships. B. Similarities among Hox genes suggest that they all arose from a single ancestral gene that duplicated many times. C. Hox genes are regulatory genes that determine body plans of animals. D. Only some animals that have been tested have Hox genes, suggesting that Hox genes have no function and only evolved recently.
(B) Similarities among Hox genes suggest that they all arose from a single ancestral gene that duplicated many times.
Explanation:
Hox genes are arranged in clusters and their order on the chromosome is the same as the order in which they are expressed along the body during development.
I hope I helped, and I always appreciate Brainliest!!! :)
