Every __________directed by a signal key code

__________ that can activate, enhance or veto*

1

Signal mapping tells each region what it ought to be yo
With circuits so deeply built upon

Was laid a long long time ago

Look at how our spinal segments generate a neat row

Built on a molecular clock
One cycle, one vertebra
One vertebra one vertebra baby

__________ its rate is snakes' developmental cheat code

That and where a lizard's feet grow
They turn off distal aminos

From devo to evo
Larva to mosquito
Patterns are resolved as the signals proceed yo
Map out a gene with a glow tag
Kill it with a morpholino
Short oligo morpholino baby

From devo to evo
Voyage of the Beagle
Body plans evolve when proteins steer the genome
In this manner life's beauty grows
Aesthetica in vivo
Evo-Devo

If you're asked about morpholinos on the test, they'll give you extra information. What a morpholine usually does is block __________ of mRNA into protein.

If you're ever asked about morpholinos (unlikely, though similar concepts might show up), you won't need to know about them; they'll describe the morpholino as done above. You do need to know, though, that...

You are not expected to get all of these right first go round, though many questions here rely on previous knowledge.

This is a mixture of lyrics prediction and assessment of your understanding of terms, and interpretation practice of a passage, to introduce a new topic. We will watch the video after, then receive a new copy of the lyrics to try again with the key turned on.

I am predicting lyrics; I will watch the video after. I should Google the questions so I know I have the right answers . I am working on my own at my own pace because I missed class.

According to the lyrics, what does "Evo-Devo" primarily focus on?

What does the song imply about the relationship between evolution and development?

They must be studied separately because they have little in common

They contradict each other, highlighting flaws in the theory of evolution

Studying one field provides insights for the other

Which statement describes a common theme in the song?

Signalling nodes are obsolete

Genetic mutations are always harmful 

Protein activation hinders growth

Switching genes alters biological traits

Which are true messages supported by the lyrics?

Cells evolve randomly.

Evolution follows a specific logic.

Development is an unpredictable process.

Genetic mutations are reversible.

Mutations in regulatory sequences are most responsible for the evolution of different species.

Mutations in coding sequences are most responsible for the evolution of different species.
