Which of the following statements about the globin gene family is true?
 
  (a) The globin protein, which can carry oxygen molecules throughout an organism's body, was first seen in ancient vertebrate species about 500 million years ago.
  (b) The gene duplication that led to the expansion of the globin gene family led to the separation and distribution of globin on many chromosomes in mammals, such that no chromosome has more than a single functional member of the globin gene family.
  (c) As globin gene family members diverged over the course of evolution, all the DNA sequence variations that have accumulated between family members are within the regulatory DNA sequences that affect when and how strongly each globin gene is expressed.
  (d) Some of the duplicated globin genes that arose during vertebrate evolution acquired inactivating mutations and became pseudogenes in modern vertebrates.
