You perform an in situ hybridization on Drosophila melanogaster embryos. You apply a probe labeled with a fluorescent stain that is complementary to mRNA transcripts of the gene hunchback. In early stages of embryogenesis you observe fluorescence for the entire anterior half of the embryo only. In embryos at a later stage of development you see the same pattern in the anterior, and also a stripe of fluorescence in the posterior half. What can you conclude about the expression of hunchback from this?

Match the type of adaptation to the correct example, structural adaptation functional adaptation behavioral adaptation example type of adaptation elephants live in herds to protect their young leaves of a rain forest plant species have a pointed tip that enables rainwater to drain off easily. camels have nostrils that they can close snakes produce venom to kill prey and defend themselves. earthworms coil when touched, as part of a defense mechanism. human skin darkens with increased exposure to sunlight.
