3. Genes to focus on during Drosophila embryogenesis
Bicoid
Hunchback
Even-skipped
Engrailed
Antennapedia
Hedgehog
Wingless
Gurken
Toll
Dorsal

7. 2.8 fly A/P axis gene hierarchy

8. The Hox gene family are examples of homeotic genes.
The Hox gene products give the positional address
along the Anterior-Posterior (A/P) axis in all animals.
Box 4A

9. 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).
