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.
This would be a behavioral adaptation because it is a trait they learned to do over time.
tree and nest
If a robin builds a nest in a big tree, the robin benefits and the tree
is not helped or harmed. This type of symbiotic relationship is called
commensalism, and it is between the tree and the nest/Robin.
<span>There are several types of biotic relationships that is occurring every single moment in the ecosystem and commensalism is one. In contrast, parasitism is the biotic relationship where one organism doesn't benefit from the other and is harmed. In this scenario with human beings and mosquitos, this phenomenon of interaction is distinguished as parasitism where mosquitos draws blood that contains nutrients from the human tissue to use it as its source of food and then leaves harmful substances and bacteria in the human’s blood stream.<span> </span></span>
