Use the following information to answer the question. The figure shows a diagram of blocks of genes on human chromosome 16 and the locations of blocks of similar genes as they are found on four different mouse chromosomes.
Which of the following statements best explains the different arrangements of these blocks in the genomes of these two species?
A) During evolutionary time, these sequences separated and have returned to their original positions in the mouse.
B) DNA sequences within these blocks have become increasingly divergent.
C) Sequences represented have duplicated at least three times resulting in this arrangement.
D) Chromosomal translocations have moved blocks of sequences to other chromosomes.
