HOXC8 gene encodes a protein that has a role in the development of the cartilage. This gene is a member of the HOX group gene that enables the differentiation of the body segments. These genes encode for transcription factors that activate the expression of other specific genes guiding the differentiation of body segments into specific structures.
What was the investigation? But from my best guess I'm assuming it's the second option. This may be incorrect.
Large crystals indicate that it cooled very quickly. If it cooled slowly, it would have time to settle down and make a nice smooth rock.
The lateral line system provides tactile sense organs ( that is from cyclostome fishes to amphibians or the aquatic vertebrates) with a sense of distant touch, enabling these animals to sense objects that reflect pressure waves and low-frequency vibration. This system made up of multiple of neuromasts.
