Scientists have discovered homeotic genes in many kinds of organisms, including fruit flies, mice, and humans. These homeotic genes regulate gene expression and control patterns of development in specific regions of young embryos. Molecular biologists have learned that homeotic genes share a very similar nucleotide sequence, which controls the development of similar portions of fly and mouse embryos. They have found a similar set of genes in humans, which also control corresponding regions of the developing human embryo.
Which of the following statements summarizes a conclusion based upon the evidence contributed by molecular biologists?
Homeotic Genetics
A.
Patterns of development among different animal species did not evolve from a common ancestor.
B.
Humans evolved from flies.
C.
Similar patterns of development increase an organism’s likelihood of surviving and reproducing.
D.
Fruit flies, mice, and humans provide evidence of divergent evolution.

One of the newest applications of cell technology is called cybrid embryos. this process involves replacing the nuclear material of an animal cell with human nuclear material. how might this process affect public policies about research by using stem cells? the same policies and concerns about the use of human embryonic stem cells would most likely apply. the embryos would most likely be treated like traditional animal embryos and regulated accordingly. the process of forming cybrid embryos would most likely be banned by government regulators. the embryos would be treated as regular cells because they are not fully human in origin.
