Parallel evolution is a term that has been used to describe cases in which independent evolution of a character state is thought to have similar genetic and developmental bases, especially in closely related species. Which statements is true for

#Unit 11. Evolution and Behavior
  1. Evolutionary reversals constitute a return from a derived character
  2. Distinction between parallel evolution and convergent evolution may be very meaningful because, as we will see, the same gene often contributes to similar evolutionary changes in related organisms.
  3. Distinction between parallel evolution and convergent evolution may not be very meaningful because, as we will see, the same gene often contributes to similar evolutionary changes in distantly related organisms.
  4. Mutational change in a specific gene, Pitx1, is the basis of independent loss of the pelvic girdle and fins in many freshwater populations of a small fish, the three spined stickleback stickleback

Researchers in the Netherlands studied the effects of parental care giving in European kestrels over 5 years. The researchers transferred chicks among nests to produce reduced broods (three or four chicks), normal broods (five or six), and enlarged broods (seven or eight). They then measured the percentage of male and female parent birds that survived the following winter. (Both males and females provide care for chicks.) Which of the following is a conclusion that can be drawn from this graph?
