Consider the following hypothetical experiment: The PAX6 gene encodes a transcription factor that controls the development of the eye in both rodents and humans. A developing human embryo has its PAX6 gene removed and a mouse PAX6 gene inserted. Mouse and human PAX6 genes are homologous and have slightly different nucleotide sequences. However, the transcription factor (TF) encoded by mouse and human PAX6 genes have identical amino acid sequences. What is the most likely outcome and explanation for the outcome?

The embryo would develop normal human eyes. Although the gene encoding the TF comes from a mouse version of PAX6, the TF would act upon the human genome in a normal manner. The same genes that are responsible for eye morphogenesis in a normal human embryo would be turned off or on.
