Question
Chapter 19.3, Problem 2LO
Summary Introduction
To determine: The process of cell commitment to developmental pathways with examples.
Introduction: There are several genes that help in deciphering the information related to the formation of various structures of the body during embryonic development. One of the common genes that are related to this process is the Hox gene.

Discuss the role of homeotic genes in development. Explain what happens to the phenotype of a fruit fly when a gain-of-function mutation in a homeotic gene causes the protein to be expressed in an abnormal region of the embryo. What are the consequences of a loss-of-function mutation in such a gene?
