Evolutionary Developmental Biology (Evo-Devo) is a relatively new field that links the study of evolution to the study of development.Which statement below is best supported by the emerging principles of Evo-Devo?
A) The common ancestor to protostomes and deuterostomes likely had rudimentary eyes.This has been determined by studying the genes associated with eye development from these groups and finding a gene that is identical regardless of the species studied.
B) The bilaterally symmetrical animals all appear to be similar with only minor changes in the genes that form the nervous system.These changes are responsible for animal diversity through the use of different inductive strategies.
C) The dorsoventral patterning genes,studied in various protostome and deuterostome lineages,demonstrate that these groups used convergent evolution to obtain similar developmental processes.
D) The rapid evolution of new animal body forms may rely less on numerous,small mutations and more on a few mutations in genes that regulate development.
