Many organisms have powerful control genes that determine how the body is laid out. For example, Hox genes are found in many animals (including flies and humans) and designate where the head goes and which regions of the body grow appendages. Such master control genes help direct the building of body "units," such as segments, limbs, and eyes. So evolving a major change in basic body layout may not be so unlikely; it may simply require a change in a Hox gene and the favor of natural selection. Uhh i hope this help (:?

Sati [7]

Answer:

The inheritance pattern is CODOMINANCE

Explanation:

Codominance is a type of non-mendelian inheritance i.e. does not follow Mendel's principles of inheritance, in which two alleles of a gene are both dominant, hence, they are both simultaneously expressed in that gene.

Examples or cases of codominance are the AB blood type in humans where alleles A and B are both expressed in the gene. Also, red and white striped flowers in certain plants is an example of codominance as red and white alleles are both expressed.
