The field of evo-devo proposes that many major morphological changes result from changes in gene __________ of regulatory genes. The premise for this argument is that these changes _______.
A) expression; will change the outcome of interactions with all genes that regulatory genes interact with
B) protein-coding sequence; will change the outcome of interactions with all genes that regulatory genes interact with
C) expression; can be compartmentalized and need not interfere with the outcome of all interactions
D) protein-coding sequence; can be compartmentalized and need not interfere with the outcome of all interactions

Question

Evo-devo suggests that changes in gene expression, rather than protein-coding sequences, can lead to major morphological changes. These changes can be compartmentalized, affecting specific interactions without altering all interactions.
