#Unit 5. Developmental Biology
  1. Genes with similar structures occupy the same relative positions on each of the four chromosomes, and paralogous gene groups display similar expression patterns.
  2. Genes with similar structures occupy the different positions on each of the four chromosomes, and paralogous gene groups display similar expression patterns.
  3. Genes with similar structures occupy the same relative positions on each of the four chromosomes, and orthologous gene groups display similar expression patterns.

Experts in deer ecology generally agree that population sizes of deer that live in temperate climates are limited by winter snow. The deer congregate in ?yarding? areas under evergreen trees because venturing out to feed in winter is energetically too expensive when snowfall depths accumulate to above 40 cm. Deer often stay yarded until the spring thaw. Snow depth over 40 inches for more than 60 days results in high mortality due to starvation.  This observation best illustrates which of the following principles about factors that limit distribution of organisms?
