Which is the most likely result if the Ubx gene was activated either before or after it normally is activated in the sequence of Hox gene expression? A. The insect develops slightly shorter or longer abdominal legs.

B. The insect develops normal body parts at either a slower or more rapid rate.

D. The insect develops legs in other parts of its body.

Female luna moths (actias luna) attract males by emitting chemical signals that spread through the air. a male hundreds of meters away can detect these molecules and fly toward their source. the sensory organs responsible for this behavior are the comblike antennae visible in the photograph shown here. each filament of an antenna is equipped with thousands of receptor cells that detect the sex attractant. based on what you learned in this chapter, propose a hypothesis to account for the ability of the male moth to detect a specific molecule in the presence of many other molecules in the air. what predictions does your hypothesis make? design an experiment to test one of these predictions.
