Genes in the NK4 class are involved in heart development in both vertebrates and fruit flies. They are also involved in the development of pumping organs in organisms that lack a heart, such as roundworms and cnidarians. Available information suggests that in early animals, the ancestral NK4 gene and its associated regulatory network ________.
A) evolved convergently in vertebrates and arthropods
B) evolved by duplication of the Hox cluster
C) governed the development of some fluid-filled pumping structure
D) were important in the development of the heart and blood vessels
E) did not have any function
