Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
Orthologous genes are homologs related by SPECIATION (vertical descent from a common ancestral gene in the last common ancestor of the compared species). They typically (but not always) retain the same function in different species. Examples: human and mouse insulin genes, human and Drosophila Pax6 (eye development gene). Paralogous genes are homologs related by GENE DUPLICATION within a species (e.g. human- and-globins). Xenologous genes are obtained by horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Heterologous is not a standard phylogenetic term. Ortholog identification is critical for comparative genomics and inferring gene function across species.
