Hox genes are found in the genomes of all animals, and play a fundamental role in shaping the animal's body and appendages. As this diagram shows, Hox genes exhibit a high degree of homology among organisms. In the diagram, the structures formed in adult Drosophila (top of the diagram) and in an early human embryo (bottom of the diagram) are depicted by colors along the anterior-posterior axis corresponding to the members of the Hox cluster that control their formation. The order of the Hox genes along the body is similar between fruit flies and humans. Use the diagram to identify the similarities and differences between the Hox genes in vertebrates and Drosophila. Drag each statement below into the appropriate bin.

Where does all the water go? according to the environmental protection agency (epa), in a typical wetland environment, 39% of the water is outflow; 46% is seepage; 7% evaporates; and 8% remains as water volume in the ecosystem (reference: united states environmental protection agency case studies report 832-r-93-005). chloride compounds as residuals from residential areas are a problem for wetlands. suppose that in a particular wetland environment the following concentrations (mg/l) of chloride compounds were found: outflow, 60.4; seepage, 73.7; remaining due to evaporation, 26.4; in the water volume, 46.8. (a) compute the weighted average of chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) for this ecological system. (round your answer to one decimal place.) mg/l (b) suppose the epa has established an average chlorine compound concentration target of no more than 58 mg/l. does this wetlands system meet the target standard for chlorine compound concentration? yes. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is too high. yes. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is lower than the target. no. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is lower than the target. no. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is too high.

Hydrilla (hydrilla verticillata) is an invasive aquatic plant and one of the most serious aquatic pests in florida. hydrilla has already been introduced to hundreds of bodies of water throughout florida, hydrilla is difficult to control because it grows rapidly and survives in many different water depths and conditions. hydrilla • describe how hydrilla affects native plant and animal species. include both a biotic and an abiotic limiting factor. • suggest one biotic and one abiotic recommendation that could slow the spread of hydrilla
