Pax-6 usually causes the production of a type of light-receptor pigments. In vertebrate eyes, though, a different gene (the rh gene family) is responsible for the light-receptor pigments of the retina. The rh gene, like Pax-6, is ancient. In the marine ragworm, for example, the rh gene causes production of c-opsin, which helps regulate the wormʹs biological clock. Which of these most likely accounts for vertebrate vision?

#Unit 11. Evolution and Behavior
  1. The Pax-6 gene mutated to become the rh gene among early mammals.

  2. During vertebrate evolution, the rh gene for biological clock opsin was co-opted as a gene for visual receptor pigments.

  3. In animals more ancient than ragworms, the rh gene(s) coded for visual receptor pigments; in lineages more recent than ragworms, rh has flip-flopped several times between producing biological clock opsins and visual receptor pigments.

  4. Pax-6 was lost from the mammalian genome, and replaced by the rh gene much later.

Sucrose is split into its two monosaccharide units—glucose and fructose—which can readily enter the glycolytic pathway. Two pathways for the splitting of sucrose are known in plants, both of which take part in the use of sucrose from phloem unloading; Invertase pathway and sucrose synthase pathway, some statements are given about these pathways, which of the following is incorrect?
