1_How is the genetic sequence of an organism like a blueprint of that organism?
2_If two organisms have almost identical sequences for the same gene, are they considered closely related?
3_What type of animal have scientists long thought was basal to all other animals? How has genetic analysis affected this view?
4_How has genetic analysis become quicker than it once was? How has that greatly helped with the search for a basal organism?
5_ What is a regulatory gene? How might they explain differences between organisms?
6_ What are "hox genes"? What phase of development are they a part of? What organisms have hox genes?
7_ If you find a fly with a leg coming out of its head and can identify what happened genetically to cause this, what have you discovered?
