A) location; independently of; heterozygosity
B) location; independently of; heterochrony
C) timing; independently of; heterochrony
D) timing; dependent on; heterozygosity
E) location; dependent on; heterochrony

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The modularity of development allows the timing of developmental processes to change independently of one another. This process is known as "heterochrony." Choice A is incorrect because it confuses timing with location. Choice B is partially correct in identifying heterochrony, but it incorrectly suggests location can change independently of each other. Choice D is incorrect because it suggests timing is dependent on heterozygosity, which is not true. Choice E is incorrect because it suggests location is dependent on heterochrony, which is not true.
