The change from indirect development to direct development in sea urchins illustrates the following  concepts: (choose all that apply)  

_____  Differences in gene expression patterns can cause major changes in development.
_____  An organism can arrive at the same adult body plan in different ways.
_____  Changing the mode of development requires evolving a lot of new genes.
_____  Urchins have a unique genome that is especially suited to major developmental changes.
_____  Once a lineage evolves a mode of development, it becomes “locked in”.
_____  Radially symmetric organisms are subject to different evolutionary pressures than bilateral organisms.
_____  Chromosomal deletions have major effects on development.
