C)Otx
D)FOXP2
E)more than one of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Dlx gene cluster is known to be involved in the development of the neural crest and craniofacial structures in vertebrates, as well as the evolution of the vertebrate brain and nervous system. While some of the other gene clusters listed may also play a role in these processes, the Dlx genes are specifically associated with the evolution of innovations in the early vertebrate nervous system and vertebrae.
