Question

O be synonymous O result in gene product with the similar properties as the original gene O All of the above researcher studying a member of the Conus genus of cone snails discovers that ere are many dozens of slightly different variants of venom proteins coded by osely related genes. What is the most likely explanation for this great variation? Hint. The compounds likely diversified in a similar way as the multiple globin roteins in mammals did.] O Hybridization between two snail species has left the offspring with multiple orthologous genes throughout the genome that have been inherited by all cone snails. O Concerted evolution resulted in the production of many venom genes, scattered 0 The last common ancestor of all cone snails had a diverse set of venom genes O Multiple gene duplication events have led to the production of a paralogous multigene family O Duplicated genes underwent incomplete gene conversion, leading to many errors in sequence

Explanation / Answer

Answer: Option B is correct.
Explanation:
Concerted evolution: Paralogous genes in one species are more closely related to each other than to members of the same gene family in the other species.
Example: Human globin genes
