Box 4A wild-type fruit fly antennapedia mutant

The Hox gene family are examples of homeotic genes. Homeotic genes are genes that when mutant cause a change in the spatial position of structures (change in address). Box 4A wild-type fruit fly antennapedia mutant

The Hox gene family are examples of homeotic genes. Homeotic genes are genes that when mutant cause a change in the spatial position of structures (change in address). Box 4A

The Hox gene family are examples of homeotic genes. Hox proteins work in a combinatorial manner to determine A/P axis address. Fig. 4.9
