a) HOX genes are highly conserved among animals. This
Group of answer choices
Indicates they have accumulated many non-synonymous changes over
time
Means they can be used to determine the relatedness among
recently diverged lineages
Gives a mechanism to Von Baer’s observation of the similarity
among early embryo forms of distantantly-related lineages
Suggests the genes have different functions in different
lineages
b) True/False: Neutral theory predicts that if a gene is under
selection, the rates of genetic change (substitution rate) will be
different in different lineages
Group of answer choices
True
False
c) Refer to the graph which shows the frequency of the
A1 allele for populations of 50, 250 and 2500
individuals over time. Which population do you think had a starting
population number of 250 individuals?
B
Impossible to tell from this graph
A
C
Frequency of Allele A₁ 1.00 0.80 0.60 A 0.40 0.20- 30 A m B 60 90 Generations C 120 151
