The wild-type (W) Abraxas moth has large spots on its wings, but the lacticolor (L) form of this species has very small spots. Crosses were made between strains differing in this character, with the following results:

 What are correct conclude from genetic explanation of the results in these two crosses

a. female are heterogametic but male are homogametic for sex chromosome

b. female are homogametic but male are heterogametic for sex chromosome

c.Trait  for spot shape linked with sex chromosome

d. Trait  for spot shape linked with autosome chromosome

e. Gene  for spot shape  present on  mitochondrial genome

Finding: The overall degree of divergence between two homologous exons in related genes corresponds to the differences between the polypeptides.

Reason: Overall degree of divergence between two homologous exons is mostly a result of base substitutions.

A. In homologous introns, the pattern of divergence involves both changes in length.

B. Divergence in introns is due to deletions and insertions and base substitutions. 

C. Introns are slowly evolve while exons much more rapidly 

D. When a gene is compared among different species, there are instances where its exons are homologous but its introns have diverged so much that very little homology is retained.

Which of the following is correct

A. A set of homologous genes should share common features that preceded their evolutionary separation.

B. All globin genes have a common form of organization with four exons and one introns.

C. A gene family is defined as a group of genes that encode related or identical products as a result of gene-duplication events.
