A. The site of expression of their HoxC-6 genes may have moved anteriorly until the level of expression has eliminated the neck region. B. The site of expression of their HoxC-6 genes would be the same as that of legged vertebrates but is simply turned off early in development. C. Their HoxC-6 gene has mutated and serves a different function than in legged vertebrates. D. The effect of the HoxC-6 gene is masked by another gene that is dominant to it. E.
